WP CODE has recently formed a working group to translate technical/scientific documents into plain language for the general public including patients. It’s intended for those interested in learning more about decentralised clinical trials (DCT) in a more accessible and easily digestible format. The aim of this group is to foster accessibility of the Trials@Home materials, to increase awareness and educational opportunities surrounding DCTs.

The group has now finished the translation of the first paper “Learning from remote decentralised clinical trial experiences: A qualitative analysis of interviews with trial personnel, patient representatives and other stakeholders”
