Abstract
Oxford Trauma has designed a collection of randomised clinical trials to answer important clinical questions in trauma and meaningfully engage trainees and associate principal investigators (aPI’s) with research.
These include:
Children’s Radius Acute Fracture Fixation Trial (CRAFFT): • Weight-Bearing in Ankle Fractures (WAX): • Blood cEll Salvage and autoTransfusion (BEST): • Fractured Ankle Management Evaluation (FAME): • Surgery or Cast for Injuries of the EpicoNdyle in Children's Elbows (SCIENCE): • The HUmeral SHaft fracture trial (HUSH) Trainee engagement is promoted via: • Registration for the NIHR associate PI scheme with corresponding “how-to guide” for study set-up.
Individually tailored points system for collaborative authorship.
Automatic emailing of certificates for recruitment of participants (For ARCP evidence).
A central database listing trial sites and contacts for aPI’s.

This has led to the recruitment of sites and participants ahead of target, including sites aPI’s have set-up from scratch.
We would love for you to join as an aPI or help us refine the model and share it with other collaborative groups!: Contact Christopher.Bretherton@ndorms.ox.ac.uk
