Article Synopsis
- The healthcare sector is facing a skills gap in managing health-related data, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, due to traditional medical education not incorporating digital technology training.
- To bridge this gap, an online modular course was created focusing on foundational data management skills, developed through a needs assessment with global health professionals.
- The course, which includes six modules on various aspects of data management, has successfully trained over 6,300 participants from 90 countries, with high satisfaction ratings indicating its relevance and effectiveness.
Capacity development for clinical research is held back by a lack of recognition for the skills acquired through involvement in clinical trials and in other varied types of global health research studies. Although some competency frameworks and associated recognised career pathways exist for different clinical research roles, they mostly apply to a single role or study setting. Our experience supports the need for an integrated approach, looking at the many roles in parallel and at all types of clinical research beyond trials.

The purpose of the Ethics Tool Kit is to facilitate effective recognition, consideration and deliberation of critical ethical issues in clinical trial protocols. The Ethics Tool Kit may be used by investigators and sponsors to develop a dedicated Ethics Section within a protocol to improve the consistency and transparency between clinical trial protocols and research ethics committee reviews.
