Celebrating ‘International Clinical Trials Day: A conversation with our participants on their experience’
Join us for an important panel discussion with our clinical trial participants, Principal Investigator and Research Coordinator on participant’s experience of being on a trial at Monash Health.
This session aims to provide an opportunity for participants to share their experience/thoughts on issues such as how they came to know about clinical trials, what information they would like the public and health service to know about the experience of trials participants, what was positive for them going on a trial and if they have a message for the health service about conducting trials what would that be, amongst other topics.
