Network Groups

ECMC EPTF 2010 1

Under the auspices of National Translational Cancer Research Network (NTRAC), a number of cross-centre groups were established to provide training, develop best practices and standardised shared resources across the Network. These are being maintained and fully supported in their activities as apart of the ECMC Network. There are currently four ECMC Network groups - BAQA, Early Phase and Translational Research Nurses, Imaging and Operational. Further information can be found below:

ECMC Platereader - BAQA ImageThis group has the remit of developing quality management systems and achieving regulatory compliance across the Network. The Group meets to develop best practice and standardise shared resources across the network. The Group also advises on and develops training in relevant areas.

ECMC Nurse and Patient recruit photoThis group focuses on the challenges and obstacles nurses face in their roles as early phase clinical trials and translational research nurses. It also seeks to bring nurses together in order to share best practice and develop training initiatives.
