The UKTMN Independent Advisory Group
An independent advisory group was established in 2021, to act as the critical friend to the UKTMN. Members of the group were selected for their roles within clinical trials, and have expertise outside the world of trial management. This group will help ensure that the activities and initiatives we work on have oversight of those who do not work with trial management, and will help to prioritise and advise on future plans.
