Welcome to ConDuCT

ConDuCT is one of the eight MRC Hubs for Trials Methodology Research network established in 2008 to strengthen the methodological platform underpinning UK trials research.

Qualitative research in randomised trials short course

Qualitative Research in Randomised Trials

The much-awaited "Qualitative Research in Trials" short course is finally here slated for 18 June 2013 (rescheduled from 21 May 2013).

This one-day course co-led by Hub members Nicola Mills, Ali Heawood and Jenny Donovan will illustrate how qualitative methods can be integrated at various stages of a randomised trial, from the development and feasibility stages to the running of the main trial, to enhance trial design and conduct.

The course will focus on the use of common and more novel qualitative methods within challenging-to-conduct pragmatic trials, undertaken within a health service context.

The course will comprise a total of six hours teaching time with a mixture of lectures and small group work.
