New Clinical Trials Network

The National Institute for Academic Anaesthesia (NIAA) has announced the launch of the UK Perioperative Medicine Clinical Trials Network (CTN) at the inaugural National Institute for Academic Anaesthesia (NIAA) Annual Scientific Meeting.

A new initiative to help clinicians gather data and conduct robust research, the CTN is overseen by the NIAA and aims to design and conduct collaborative research in anaesthesia, perioperative medicine, and pain medicine. It will support patient recruitment into large clinical trials and generate new evidence to inform the care of more than 300 million patients undergoing surgery worldwide each year.

The CTN has developed bespoke schemes suitable for investigators of all levels of experience.  Enquiries and applications for Investigator registration can be made via the CTN website: www.pomctn.org.uk.
