In 2015 the SA Regional Faculty secured co-funding from TGHN and the Newton Fund/SA National Research Fund to host a 2-day mini conference in Cape Town. The funding allowed us to invite 2 speakers from a twin facility at The Guys and St Thomas Biomedical Research Centre, London and also host a group from the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Harvard and Brigham and Women's Hospital. A jam-packed 2 days with plenary speakers and parallel workshops offered something for most people involved in clincial trials, whether investigators, nurses, data managers, laboratory staff, statisticians.
