Infectious Diseases
Our role is to support the delivery of high quality infectious diseases and microbiology studies and manage participant recruitment to time and target, both for studies which are led from Scotland, and studies led from other nations which Scottish sites are participating in. We provide support in the following areas:
- Managing the study portfolio record
- Monitoring the attainment of recruitment targets
- Providing advice on study design and feasibility
- Troubleshooting issues with poor recruitment
- Identifying potential sites for studies
- Facilitating access to resource to support research
Scottish sites are currently supporting more than 30 infectious diseases and microbiology studies. Almost two-thirds of these studies are led by Scotland demonstrating the level of interest and expertise of Scottish investigators who can develop and deliver successful research studies.
