Continue to conduct world-leading studies: Following on from the ICC-CTN’s previous high quality clinical trials conducted in Ireland and worldwide, that have helped to guide patient treatment and improve outcomes in the critically ill.
World Leading Trial Co-Ordination
Develop the ICC-CTN as a world leading trial co-ordination centre: Having successfully established itself as an Irish hub for ICU research, the next step is to grow our international reputation as a leading clinical trials centre.
Network Expansion
Expanding the network and studies: The ICC-CTN has received both national and international research grants which have allowed it to expand its collaborations in Ireland and internationally. This momentum will be used to increase geographical scope, broaden the types of research being carried out and grow the network team.
The Next Generation
Supporting the next generation of clinicians/scientists: Training and educational opportunities will continue to be provided to clinicians and researchers throughout Ireland to support their professional development.
Learning About Research
Learn about how research is conducted: Carrying out research on how clinical trials are currently being conducted, with an aim to improve both the quality and methods used.
The Patient's Voice
Putting a focus on the patient’s voice: By involving patients and their families in research to ensure the research is relevant to the population, by reflecting on their experiences and by making research both accessible and easy to understand for all.
The Future
The future of the ICC-CTN is bright, with the impact the network is having on patients, their families and ICU research, both nationally and internationally, being of great significance.
