Great talk by @RNNewlands on the impact of different local referral pathways on trial recruitment especially when patients are referred on to expert hub centres - conflicting info can be given. Need to plan for this & help patients get consistent info to make informed choices

In clinical trials, we sometimes undertake #SensitivityAnalysis alongside the main primary analysis. But when should we use them and to what purpose? 1/8 #MethodologyMonday #80
