It was great to welcome research nurses from across the country to our latest training event held in Newcastle on July 7th and 8th. We had a good turnout of 27 nurses from 15 national centres and the meeting covered areas including biobanking, early phase clinical trials, pharmacology and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) approaches to patient treatment. A really enjoyable couple of days and a big thank you to our sponsors the ECMC, the CCLG and Vesynta for making the event possible.
