Overview
Anaesthesia Research Co-ordinators Network (ARCN) represents more than 180 research co-ordinators facilitating anaesthesia research around Australia and New Zealand. The network is overseen by the Anaesthesia Research Co-ordinators Network Sub-Committee.
Annual ARCN networking dinner
Each year before the formal program of the Clinical Trials Network Strategic Research Workshop, the ARCN Sub-Committee hosts a networking event which provides opportunities for anaesthesia research co-ordinators to meet with their peers and regional representatives ahead of the workshop.
Regional mentoring program
ARCN Sub-committee members represent research co-ordinators in their regions or specialties, offering guidance on trial conduct and facilitating connection through meetings or teleconferences to share knowledge and resources. If you would like more information about the program or to be put in contact with your representative, contact Gillian Ormond.
CTN educational sessions
The aims of the CTN educational sessions are to discuss various research topics relevant to trial conduct and design, and to provide educational and networking opportunities for fellows, trainees and research co-ordinators. The program features presentations from CTN members and guest speakers and includes group discussions on topics of interest to emerging researchers, research coordinators and research teams. Join the mailing list to keep informed about any upcoming sessions.
ARCN support chat group
Members of the ARCN may opt to be included in a phone messaging group to be able to instantly connect with other members to seek advice and support from their peers. This chat group is governed by a terms of reference. If you would like to join, please contact Gillian Ormond.
