Bristol Randomised Trials Collaboration (BRTC)
The Bristol Randomised Trials Collaboration (BRTC) is a formalisation of a long-standing collaboration between the University Departments of Community Based Medicine and Social Medicine in the design and conduct of high quality phase III randomised trials, and provision of training courses in trial methodologies. We conduct trials in both primary and secondary care settings, and in many different disease areas, including mental health, diabetes, child health, and cancer. The methodological expertise within BRTC comprises statistics, economics and social science. Areas of particular interest include complex trial design, and the application of social science to improve recruitment, design and conduct. As members of academic departments, our approach is to establish full and formal academic collaboration at all stages of a project, including design, development, conduct, analysis and reporting.
