As part of our registration process, CTUs must show a firm commitment to PPI&E in all areas - from trial design to reporting results - aiming to exceed current UK requirements: sites.google.com/nihr.ac.uk/p...

PPI&E is not just 'nice to have', it's vial for ensuring research has real-world impact.
