We have experienced this at our trial site. The trial was already busy and our Research Centre joined later to reach the target of participants, so the protocol was already finalised.
We organised a protocol training for stakeholders, whereby we went step by step through the protocol and whereby stakeholders were able to ask questions or provide feedback on the trial. We’ve used their expertise for setting up a Recruitment, Adherence and Retention Plan. Obtained information was shared with the sponsor.
Community sessions were organised to share information on the trial with other relevant stakeholders to gain support for the study.
We’re looking forward to set-up a session with stakeholders in the future to discuss a new protocol as explained in the GPP module of this week.
