PortfolioThe MCRN has established twelve Clinical Studies Groups (CSG’s) covering the majority of paediatric specialties, listed below with their main contacts:• Allergy, Nephrology, Infection, Immunity and Haematology - Dr Mike Sharland, St. George’s Hospital • Anaesthesia, Intensive Care, Pain Control and Cardiology - Dr Robert Tasker, Cambridge • Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Medicine - Professor David Dunger, Cambridge • Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition - Dr Stephen Murphy, Birmingham • General Paediatrics - Dr Colin Powell, Cardiff • Neonatal - Professor David Field, Leicester • Neurosciences - Dr William Whitehouse, Nottingham • Methodology - Peter Brocklehurst, Oxford • Pharmacy and Pharmacology (including Paediatric Formulations and Pharmacokinetics) - Professor James McElnay, London • Respiratory and Cystic Fibrosis - Prof. Jonathan Grigg, London • Rheumatology (arc/MCRN collaboration) - Dr Mike Sharland, St. George’s Hospital • Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG; please note that this is a Specialist Research Network within the National Cancer Research Network; NCRN) CSG’s identify gaps and priorities in research, and develop study proposals to address important clinical questions that are relevant to children. All the specialties are covered by the TLCRN; therefore, if there’s not one already, there should be a study in your specialty soon. The UKCRN has introduced the following performance management targets, which will apply to our portfolio: • The development of a balanced portfolio of commercial and non-commercial clinical studies, as assessed by an international review panel. • The speed of set up and final recruitment. The first subject that is recruited at a site should be recruited within four weeks of final site approval. The date of the recruitment of the last subject will be compared with the planned close of recruitment. • The accrual of subjects into studies. 80% of studies should achieve their accrual target by the planned close of recruitment.
