To introduce a range of project management techniques, tools and methods which can help ensure the smooth delivery of clinical trials.

Students will learn how to develop a project management plan, identify key milestones and develop delivery plans. The module will explore implementation and co-ordination of the project plan with an emphasis on communication and project promotion and monitoring. It will also consider the major challenge of identifying barriers to implementation and creating deliverable solutions.
