Webinar 24 January 2023 06:00 PM EAT - Implementation of Compliant Data Management at Clinical Trial Sites in Africa

Tue, Dec 20, 2022 Clinical Data Management is one of the critical processes in the conduct of clinical trials. The process starts very early in the clinical trial and goes all the way to database closure and data archival. The importance of a compliant data management process could not be overemphasized since data quality denes success in clinical trials. Moreover, all good practices are meant to ensure credible data and the safety of participants. However, data management process is not getting the attention it deserves in LMICs, Sub-Saharan Africa included. In this webinar, we discuss commonly recurring data management issues in LMICs which are detrimental to clinical trial success. The main themes of the webinar include optimal planning in data management, early procedures with an impact on data quality, quality aspects in data management, and other related aspects.
