Training Sessions at the BSRBR-RA
Â
The increasing use of Microsoft Teams for video calling has been really useful for us on the BSRBR-RA study, as it has widened our ability to support our NHS sites and provide useful training.
We run three regular training sessions for our sites.
Â
Overview Session
The first is an Overview session, which gives some background to the study, what data we collect and a database demo for a registration and a follow up. This session is perfect for someone completely new to the study.
What our sites say:
‘It definitely gives new users the information to be able to use the database confidently, as well as a clear introduction.’
Â
Refresher Session
The second session that we run is a Refresher session. This is aimed towards people who are already familiar with the study, have used the database before and would just like a refresher demonstration of a registration and follow up.
What our sites say:
‘The step by step guidance through each database section was very good and the explanations about where to find further help and guidance online were also useful.’
Â
Adverse Events Session
The third session that we run is the Adverse Event session. This is aimed at database users who provide follow up data for participants on the study. The session provides an overview of the importance and impact of adverse event data, provides definitions for adverse events and serious adverse events. There are also demos of how to input adverse events into the online system.
What our sites say:
‘This session was very helpful to provide a clearer understanding of adverse and serious adverse events. Using the scenarios in particular were very helpful, and being able to go through inputting the data onto the system was very useful.’
We love running these training sessions as we find it really helpful to talk to our database users and find out the different ways that sites run the study. We also appreciate feedback from sites about the database, and this has enabled us to make changes such as providing estimated date options and not available buttons for certain data.
If you would like to attend one of our sessions, please just get in touch- lizzy.allerton@manchester.ac.uk
