The conduct of (randomized) trials to assess the effectiveness of interventions in health services research is challenging. They demand considerable resources and their external validity is often questioned. In our 6th NAVICARE symposium, we have invited Prof. Shaun Treweek, Dr. Katie Gillies and PD Dr. Lars Hemkens to discuss these challenges and present some innovative methods for improving the efficiency of trial design and using “real-world” data as complementing evidence.

We invite you to join us for an inspiring session and discussion!
