Yesterday, we activated North Lincs Talking Therapies (Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS FT) as the second site on the study, and they will begin recruitment shortly. We also trained another site, Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS FT, on the 1st September. This site has three teams: Blackburn with Darwen, Hyndburn and Rossendale, and West Lancashire, and we hope to have these activated soon. Recruitment for Central Cheshire Talking Therapies is ongoing, and there are now 34 participants on the trial.
Thank you to the therapists and research staff for all of your work enrolling patients onto the trial. With just one team, 24 participants have been recruited in the first month.
The first trial participants have been recruited - there are now 2 participants in the trial.
We are very pleased to announce that the first trial site has been activated and recruitment can begin. We are working with other trial sites to get them set up and ready to start recruiting.
With the StratCare app finalised and other checks and approvals in place, the trial has been activated and we can start to activate trial sites.
The trial protocol has been reviewed and approved by the London - Brighton and Sussex Research Ethics Committee (ref 24/LO/0576). We are now working to recruit Talking Therapies teams into the trial.
