‌CONNECT Guidance Development Event

As part of the CONNECT study guidance development process, funding was received from the MRC Network of Hubs for Trials Methodology Research (HTMR) to run a one-day event in Liverpool which aimed to:

1. Bring together experts and PPI representatives to refine CONNECT guidance and help to ensure the guidance is ethically appropriate and practicable, therefore meeting the needs of clinicians, researchers and families involved in recruitment and consent to clinical trials in this challenging setting
2. Engage key stakeholders to help raise awareness of the study and outputs as part of the CONNECT dissemination strategy.

The event was attended by 32 individuals including: parents; recruiters; ethicists; philosophers; researchers and clinical trialists.
