For our Scheme Champions, we have signposted some resources that we hope will help you with supporting healthcare professionals at your site find out more about the scheme and encourage them to take part.
If you're new to the Champion role, we recommend starting by watching the ‘Champion Introduction’ video (5 mins). It provides a helpful overview of the resources available to support you in your role.
Associate PI Scheme Champions can access a dedicated dashboard to find details about Associate PIs for their studies. Please read this guidance document to assist you in accessing and navigating the dashboard.
To help with encouraging healthcare professionals at your site to take part in the Scheme you are welcome to utilise the promotional materials that we have created for our stakeholder.
Guidance about how you can engage your study sites and PIs with the Scheme, so they can get Associate PIs signed up.
To help with encouraging healthcare professionals at your site to take part in the Scheme you might like to signpost them to the "Where can I take part?" tool on the dashboard, and the instructional video that demonstrates how to apply for the scheme.
