New Blood Pharmacokinetic (PK) toolkit provides step by step guide on how to collect, process and transport PK samples in COVID-19 clinical trials While a trial protocol will describe which drug concentration (or pharmacokinetic, PK) samples are to be collected and when, and how such samples will be prepared for analysis, it is important that site staff understand the rationale and best practice for PK sampling to help ensure robust results. This is particularly important for intensive PK sampling schedules. The blood pharmacokinetic toolkit provides a step-by-step guidance for taking blood PK samples from the phlebotomist to processing in an interim processing (e.g. ward) laboratory and onto an analytical laboratory in clinical trials. This toolkit was developed in partnership with the Infectious Diseases Data Observatory, the Collaborating Centre for Optimising Antimalarial Therapy, the University of Cape Town and the Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network. Visit: Blood Pharmacokinetics Toolkit ? New Collection of Electrocardiogram?(ECG) Data?toolkit provides comprehensive guidance for collecting the standard 12-lead clinical trial ECG data to support any trial-specific instructions While a clinical trial protocol will describe which electrocardiogram?(ECG) data are to be collected and when, it is important that relevant site staff understand the rationale and best practice for the active collection of such data to ensure robust and relevant results. This toolkit provides comprehensive guidance for collecting the standard 12-lead clinical trial ECG data, to support any trial-specific instructions. It does not include ambulatory (e.g. Holter) ECGs. It also provides a rational for collecting ECG data in COVID-19 clinical trials and trial design considerations.?

The COVID-19 Research Implementation and Knowledge Hub has an ongoing programme of virtual workshops and virtual working group meetings to support research study implementation during this pandemic. These include over twenty virtual workshops so far. Working groups meet to discuss ideas, form collaborations, access funding as well as share outputs and resources that others can use. The open working groups are: Therapeutic Trials Diseases Characterisation Social Science Diagnostic evaluation and testing Ethics & Community Engagement Vaccines Health Systems Research ? Watch previous virtual workshops here. If you're interested in joining a working group please: Complete this survey Request to join working group For working groups in Portuguese, please complete this survey We look forward to hearing back from you and hope we can work together to support a strong and equitable global research response during this pandemic. Access COVID-19 resources shared by research teams across the world and share yours! Research teams in Malawi, Pakistan and The Gambia have shared resources to help us develop study 'walk throughs'. These include short summaries, study staff training materials and most importantly?SOPs?(what outcomes are being measured and how). This concept strongly focuses on sharing the?process?and?framework?for the study and also reflects the context-specific nature of running a study in individual settings. Funders are keen to know of sites engaged in research, and who are willing to?actively?share their SOPs to enable other sites to adapt them and use them in their own setting. We know the true power of sharing and the impact it can have to raise standards and speed up research. However, while a lot of people keenly talk about sharing, the practice is still not fully realised. To access previously shared resources click here If you or your team are working on COVID-19 studies and would like to be part of this initiative, please email us COVID-19 clinical data report published by the International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging infection consortium (ISARIC) Access Here You can also access ISARIC Clinical Research Resources to help accelerate outbreak research and response. The resources are designed to address the most critical public health questions, have undergone extensive review by international clinical experts, and are free to use. ISARIC supports researchers to retain control of the data and samples they collect. To access the resources click here

Dear Colleague,

As someone who has shown interest in our current and previous work (e.g. Brain Infections Global hub and/or the COVID-Neuro Network) we thought you would like to know about the upcoming Liverpool Neurological Infectious Disease Course (NeuroID Virtual).

Ever struggled with a patient with a brain infection? Then the NeuroID course is for you!

The Liverpool Neurological Diseases Course (NeuroID) has taken place every year in Liverpool since 2007, and has now trained more than 1000 delegates from 40 countries. Check out the course video on this web page. Although we could not deliver the course earlier in the year, because of the pandemic, we were determined to offer something.

NeuroID Virtual will be a free online course on 20 & 21 January 2021 (10:00 - 15:00 GMT both days).

The course is a must for any clinicians of any specialty or grade who sees patients with neurological infectious diseases. It covers the common and important neurological infections, as well as some rarer conditions, with the emphasis very much on practical approaches to the problems encountered on wards and in clinic. Delivered by experts in the field, the course, has been oversubscribed every year. All details for the virtual course will be available via our website shortly. The course will be run live, but talks will also be recorded in case your diary does not allow you to attend each session

In the meantime, registration is now open here. Places are limited so register now to avoid disappointment.

We look forward to seeing you in January

Best wishes,

Professor Tom Solomon and the NeuroID Team
