The Australian clinical trial landscape: Perceptions of rural, regional and remote health service capacity and capability
The clinical trial landscape in Australian health services varies in terms of quality and availability of training, workforce capacity, executive support, site capability and approval processes. The Australian Teletrial Program has an immense opportunity to overcome some of the reported challenges by supporting capacity and capability building. Ultimately, however, sustainable reform to bring trials closer to home requires a collaborative approach that considers implementation strategies across all levels of the health service and government, alongside other initiatives.
