Metabolic and Endocrine

Our role is to support the delivery of high-quality clinical research in Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders 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, for example through Clinical Research Facility (CRF) Research Nurses
facilitating research links and networking

At the moment we support approximately 20 Metabolic and Endocrine studies, about half of which are led from Scotland.
