  • Consumer Involvement and Engagement Toolkit

    The Consumer Involvement and Engagement Toolkit provides practical advice for researchers and research organisations wishing to conduct patient-centred clinical trials. Using an interactive map, the Toolkit provides guidance and tools to help plan, deliver, evaluate and report consumer and community involvement and engagement activities.

    COVID-19

    We’ve created this area for all COVID-19 information relevant to clinical trials we have gathered. In line with the national guidance and emphasis on the safety and well-being of patients, research participants and their families, and health care professionals, researchers and other staff involved in patient care and research, ACTA strongly supports the continuation of investigator-led trials, where it is safe to do so, and with due consideration to any protocol amendments appropriate for the current COVID-19 pandemic.
