Assessment of competencies of clinical research professionals and proposals to improve clinical research in Portugal
This study was the first to assess clinical trial competency in Portugal, registering a high participation rate. The study highlights the need to develop a national plan of action, in a collaborative effort, between clinical research centres, universities, industry, regulatory authorities, national agencies, and patient organizations. This will not only contribute to elevate the quality of studies but also improve compliance with international standards, ultimately benefiting both researchers and patients.
