Research nurses on the ECMC Research Nurse Network Group Steering Committee recognised a need to improve the quality of site initiation visits from sponsors. A working group made up of research nurses and academic sponsor representatives (CTUs and CRUK’s Centre for Drug Development) worked together to produce some guidance in this area.
