The Trials Co-ordination Group forms part of the Medical Statistics Unit at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). We have a growing team specialising in the co-ordination of randomised controlled trials addressing key public health questions.
We work closely with clinical collaborators at every stage of a trial’s design and implementation. This includes the development of the clinical question and trial protocol, preparation of applications for funding and research ethics committee approval, all aspects of data collection and statistical analysis, and submission of results for publication.
We bring to these processes extensive knowledge and practical experience of trial co-ordination, gained from holding a respected position within the clinical scientific community. To date this has led to successful collaborations in many clinical fields, including cardiology, adult and neonatal respiratory failure, childhood diabetes, nutritional interventions for older people and liver disease.

- Annual short course on clinical trials is held at LSHTM in September of each year
