‘Research into the methods used in the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of clinical trials is essential to ensure that effective methods are available and that clinical decisions made using results from trials are based on the best available evidence, which is reliable and robust.’

It is precisely in this space that the contributions can be so valuable. Equally for those us who get involved it provides an opportunity to learn more about health research methods and helps us ask better questions with other projects.
