Aligned with the aims for HaemSTAR, a regional lead’s principal aim is to increase the number of participants recruited into haematology clinical research nationally.
Consultant Haematologist Allie Delaney talks about the benefits of being a regional rep
Each region is normally aligned to the equivalent NIHR LCRN but some regions are very large, and the role is subdivided. A HaemSTAR regional lead acts as the main contact point and co-ordinator of HaemSTAR activity within their region. This means that people from within a region would use the regional lead as their main contact point for HaemSTAR-related queries and also that the national HaemSTAR committee would use each regional lead as a conduit for communication to members/participants in that region. It also means that the regional lead should have an overview of all HaemSTAR activity that is occurring in their region and be in communication with participants in studies to encourage and troubleshoot as appropriate.
