We are giving preference to attend these training events, to clinical research staff who work in the WCLRN region. If you work outside of these regions, we are happy to take your details and put you on a waiting list in case there are places still available when WCLRN staff have been accommodated.
The Comprehensive Clinical Research Network is part of the NIHR Clinical Research Network, which supports research to make patients, and the NHS, better.
