Partly to blame is the modern workplace culture generated by so much remote and hybrid activities where once people saw their colleagues more often face-to-face.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">“I think there are good and bad aspects to all of the remote possibilities out there,” Dunn points out. Also, “you may have a 15-year-old site with staff who have only ever worked in clinical trials at that site, so they just don’t know anything else but what they do there, or that there may be better ways to do things. I think that if people had support and they realized that they needed those connections, they could gain from them, and see that none of us are alone in this fight. A culture of connectedness is a culture that we need.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <h4 id="yui_3_17_2_1_1730987887691_263" class="eventitem-title"><a

of more and more long-time research professionals causing high rates of turnover, many newcomers to the field are not necessarily as savvy about key issues as would be ideal, Willenberg adds,

data-contrast="auto">“If they are in a role now where they are just having things dumped on them because there’s people leaving the site or there’s turnover, it can be a very big issue for patient safety,” she says. “We have to learn not to just barrel down the track, letting the pressure to enroll patients and get studies done cloud our judgement, because that’s not safe for anyone.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><i><span data-contrast="auto">Author: Gary Cramer</span></i><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <div class="sharethis"> <span
