At SATVI, we locate CE across three job positions; namely Clinical Research, Field Site Managment and my domain which is Marketing and Communication. We recognise that CE cannot be just one person’s responsbility, that it should be everyone’s KPA. I would like to develop a mature model of engagement, which is not just a tick box exercise in terms of how many CAB meetings, or stakeholder engagements there were, but also qualitative indicators. I am curious how you can build in a mechanism to tie in formative research in a more structured way, because this is largely a hit and miss affair. Also, sometimes because of academic freedom there are unfortunatle restrictions on the free flow of information. In that many times students do research area, tying into socio-economic issues, which could enrich the clinical research understanding of an area.
How does one firmly root CE within a Clinical Research Site so that it does not remain an event, but is a framework of relationships, expectations, outcome and inputs.
