To become a successful Clinical Research Associate (CRA) start by completing a clinical research course to gain strong knowledge of research processes and regulations. Build practical skills through internships or entry-level roles and focus on clear communication and attention to detail. Staying updated with industry trends and certifications will help you grow in this rewarding career.
When you think about the incredible work that goes into bringing a new medicine to people who need it a key part of that effort is carried out by a person called a Clinical Research Associate or CRA. A CRA is a vital link between the company that makes a medicine and the doctors and hospitals that are testing it. They travel to different study sites making sure everything is done carefully and according to…

CRAs can elevate their careers into roles such as Project or Trial Manager and Medical Science Liaison—stepping into leadership, operational oversight, or scientific strategy after gaining hands‑on trial experience.
Many Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) eventually wonder: what’s next? Mike Wood outlines five compelling post‑CRA trajectories in clinical research, each delivering more strategy, leadership, or scientific impact. Clinical Project Manager (CPM): Lead entire trials, from budgeting to timelines and team coordination. Ideal for those keen on big‑picture involvement.  Clinical Trial Manager (CTM): Focus on operations—overseeing site performance, supervising CRAs, and keeping trials inspection‑ready. Great for aspiring leaders. Clinical Research Scientist / Medical Science…

The year is 2025 and the world has gone mad since late 2022 when ChatGPT blessed (and cursed) our lives. We're living in a world of computers talking to computers trying to find great talent or find a new opportunity. There is less and less human to human conversations going on which in turn is starting to create a BIG DENT in the industry.
AI is everywhere, from creating music, LinkedIn profile pictures or even turning your co-workers into a dancing spiderman, we cannot escape it. What else is there to do?  Embrace. Adapt. Learn. Adapt. Implement. Withdraw. Learn. Implement 2.0.

Ambient Voice Technology (AVT) is rapidly emerging as a solution to the ever-growing administrative burdens on clinicians, promising to transform how medical records are created and maintained. AVT tools capture, transcribe, and even summarise clinician-patient conversations, allowing healthcare professionals to reclaim valuable time for direct patient care. Yet, as the technology advances and artificial intelligence enters the conversation, so does the debate around its regulatory status, with NHS England now taking decisive steps to treat AVT not as a mere productivity aid, but as a medical device in its own right.

The looming changes to the UK Apprenticeship Levy are causing ripples across industries. For the healthcare sector, which often relies on Level 7 apprenticeships to address leadership skills gaps and workforce challenges, these changes are particularly significant.
The looming changes to the UK Apprenticeship Levy are causing ripples across industries. For the healthcare sector, which often relies on Level 7 apprenticeships to address leadership skills gaps and workforce challenges, these changes are particularly significant. “With Levy funding for new Level 7 apprenticeship starters aged 22 and over ending in January 2026, healthcare organisations need to act swiftly to capitalise on current funding opportunities before the December cut-off,” explains Steven Hurst, Director of Corporate L…

Science and technology rely on each other. Scientific progress fuels new technologies, while better technology helps science advance. But science faces a replication crisis. Many studies seem exciting but can’t be repeated. This slows discovery and delays innovation. If we want faster progress, we must fix how science is done and shared.

Clinical trials are steadily becoming more complex, and the systems that support them must evolve in parallel to ensure efficiency, compliance, and data integrity. This complexity and change is most evident than in the way trial sponsors manage and collect clinical outcome assessment (COA) data. Once seen as a functional tool for tracking patient responses, electronic COA (eCOA) platforms are now seen as a foundational requirement for COA data collection and are often critical to trial success.
