AccessCR is committed to promoting the value of
clinical trials and improving Australia’s clinical research environment.
The
following are just a few ways we demonstrate this.
The
Clinical Trials Honour Roll 
Rarely do we recognise the entire breadth of stakeholders
that contribute to the advancement of medical treatments. Recognising this, in 2008, AccessCR initiated an annual Clinical Trials Honour Roll.
On International Clinical Trials Day, 20th May each year,
AccessCR publishes an Honour Roll of people and organisations who have
nominated themselves or others for their contribution of time, expertise, money
and/or services to clinical research in the past 12 months.
Over the past 3 years, nearly 300 individuals and organisations
contributing to ANZ clinical research have been recognised on the Honour Rolls.
In 2011 for the first time, people and organisations involved in clinical trials globally will be invited to participate in the Honour Roll. To view past Honour Rolls or obtain more information on participating in or
sponsoring this event, thereby publicly demonstrating your commitment to clinical research, visit www.ClinicalTrialsHonourRoll.com.

Note:
International Clinical Trials' Day was launched by the European Clinical
Research Infrastructure Network (http://www.ecrin.org/) in 2004 to promote clinical trials. It
is celebrated on the 20th of
May each year recognising the day that James Lind (www.jameslindlibrary.org)
started a controlled trial to test different treatments for scurvy in
sailors (20th of May 1747). |

2009 Save Australian Clinical Trials Campaign 
Due to increasingly complex ethical and governance requirements,
increased costs, and difficulties recruiting volunteers for trials, Australia
has found it challenging attracting trials compared to
other nations whose governments have specifically focused on increasing their trial activity.
In 2009 AccessCR felt the need to highlight the problem of
declining clinical trial competitiveness and launched the Save Australian
Clinical Trials Campaign. This campaign ran for 6 weeks during October-November
2009 and offered people an opportunity to voice their own views regarding the
value of clinical trials to Australia.

Bi-monthly Senior Clinical Research Professionals Dinner Finding informal opportunities to network with other busy senior clinical research professionals can be difficult. In 2011, Janelle Bowden (AccessCR's founder) initiated a bi-monthly dinner for Sydney-based industry clinical research professionals with 10+years experience to informally catch-up over dinner.
Please contact us if you would like more information about attending these dinners.
