Abstract
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are widely accepted as the ‘gold standard’ for evaluating the effectiveness of health interventions. Trial recruitment is notoriously difficult, with approximately 57% of publicly funded RCTs not meeting recruitment target sample sizes.
Trainee involvement can be crucial for large scale clinical studies. However, there remains limited knowledge about methods in which trainee collaboration can assist studies in achieving their aims. The Sunflower Study is the UKs largest surgical RCT and is unique in piloting the establishment of a Trainee Executive Group (TEG). Here we explore the outputs of the TEG and its impact on the study.
