OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Can patient and public involvement (PPI) enhance recruitment and retention in clinical trials?
Abstract: Poor recruitment and retention of participants is one of the major causes of clinical trial extension (both time and cost) and failure. It has been proposed that PPI could prevent or lessen this problem in clinical trials, but evidence to support this claim is currently weak. The PIRRIST project will develop and evaluate a PPI intervention aimed at enhancing recruitment and retention in surgical trials. We will present preliminary findings from stage 1 (a survey of current PPI practice in UK surgical trials) and stage 2 (focus groups with surgical trial staff and PPI contributors), and describe our plans for subsequent stages of the project.
