Great to see this NIHR-funded work now out. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/1/e… Interested in Greener Trials? See methodologyhubs.mrc.ac.uk/about/working-… how to join the Greener Trials group!

Fantastic to see this paper out: a whole bundle of information and resources to help trialists include people with impaired capacity to consent in their trials.

Plenty to mull over here. The importance of good abstracts shines through, as does the need for clear, uncluttered writing throughout.

Couldn’t agree more.

SWAT 162 results from the E-MAT feasibility trial. Recruiting via X, FB and QR code. More engagement with X but FB is more cost effective in terms of no.s consented and retained. QR code is ineffective. Trial Forge Dr Adwoa Parker HRB-TMRN

Very proud of the @uktmn video we have created to showcase the vital work of #trialmanagers ❤️
