Project Details

Victorian Future Leader Fellows for Clinical Trials (Cohort 1)

The project will involve a dashboard that uses hospital data to identify potentially eligible participants, alongside a patient-facing app to help people understand and access clinical trial opportunities.

Initially tested at Western Health, the tools are intended to integrate with existing hospital systems and support broader implementation across Victoria.

The project aims to connect more patients with clinical trial opportunities by helping clinicians identify eligible participants earlier and improving patient awareness.

The Victorian Future Leader Fellows for Clinical Trials – Fellowship Program is delivered through the Victorian Research Translation Centre Collaborative (VRTCC) with support from the Victorian Government.
