All practices have full-time or part-time research nurses, some have dedicated study site co-ordinators and all have been ICH-GCP trained and have regular training updates. Most sites have two investigators (one lead investigator and one co-investigator) so that trials can proceed during investigators' holiday absences and emergency call-outs.
There is an ongoing mentoring system which ensures that any new investigators are trained as quickly as possible.
CCRG has experience of electronic CRFs and Electronic data Capture (EDC) and has experience with diary-based PDAs which indicates a practical willingness to embrace new technology.
