General Description: 

The course focuses on the role of Research Nurses in paediatric clinical trials. At the beginning of the course some study material is provided to the students. The course then proceeds with two interactive animated video-lessons. The first screenplay deals with “The role of the Research Nurse in the organization, preparation, and start-up of a paediatric clinical trial”. The second one covers the issue of “Retention rates. Keeping patients in the trial”. During the four weeks of the course students can interact with teachers via an online forum hosted on the c4c VLE platform. A webinar will be organized during the 4th week of the course with the students divided in two groups. Having successfully passed a final examination and completed a satisfaction questionnaire, students will obtain an attendance certificate from the c4c Educational Board.


Programme:

  • Week 1: Study of background material provided by the teachers;
  • Week 2 and 3: interactive animated video-lessons and case forum;
  • Week 4: webinar on the c4c VLE Platform (there will be 2 webinars for 20 students each). The webinars are scheduled for the 3rd & 4th May at 2pm CET
  • Week 5: final exam and certification.

A discussion forum will be available on the c4c VLE Platform during the four weeks of the course.


Who should apply?

Health care professionals involved in clinical trials regarding neonates, children and adolescents and in particular to Research Nurses

  • We are aware that the term Research Nurse covers a lot of job descriptions and functions. In this case it is defined as: a nurse trained specifically to work within clinical trials
  • The course is aimed at nurses working in paediatric clinical trials with little or some experience. We are happy to have experienced research nurses join us to provide very valuable input, but much of the content may be known to them.
  • The course will be in English, and we know that for some potential participants, this might be a challenge. If you feel this might be a difficulty for you, we recommend you contact your National Hub for advice.

**if you are part of a PoV Team and you are interested into taking part in the Course, please contact your Country’s National Hub. The person responsible for Training and Education will be your point of contact as participant in a c4c Academy Course.


Max. number of persons that each national hub can enrol:
