Overview
Getting started with CTN trials involves understanding the key steps to initiate and support high-quality, collaborative research. This guidance provides practical advice for anaesthesia research departments on assessing for trial feasibility, governance requirements, and coordinating trial activities to ensure successful participation in ANZCA Clinical Trials Network studies.
