Core tasks that may be the responsibilities of trial management professionals are listed below, but we recognise that not all 'trial managers' will necessarily carry out all of these tasks. We ask that UKTMN Members carry out a minimum of 5 of these tasks. 

      • Contribute to the development of the trial/study protocol
      • Obtain and maintain relevant trial/study approvals (e.g. ethics, regulatory)
      • Support and train trial/study staff at CTUs and external sites
      • Manage essential trial/study documents and amendments (version control, TMF)
      • Develop, maintain and ensure compliance with trial/study procedures
      • Contribute to trial/study data management and quality assurance activities
      • Monitor and manage trial/study recruitment and retention
      • Monitor trial/study budget
      • Provide regular updates for all stakeholders
      • Contribute to trial/study dissemination activities

      All members who meet the criteria listed above will qualify as a member, and no fee will be incurred for membership. Members of the UKTMN will have access to all website material and have equal chance to attend events.
