Resilience, Recovery and Growth
The NIHR's Restart Framework has been renamed. This changes from a focus on Restart, to looking at Resilience, Recovery and Growth.
To help share how sites are overcoming challenges in restarting research, Local Clinical Research Networks are publishing news stories and case studies to highlight where progress is being made, key learnings and best practice.
Training
NIHR Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training is currently provided as online learning only. Some face-to-face events have been prioritised and have been provided in-person since August 2020, where appropriate learning space can be provided.
