WELCOME TO THE NCTO

Dear Colleagues,

Regretfully, our funding agencies have indicated that they are not in a position to renew supporting our organisation and the HRB-NCTO is therefore closing around Easter 2025.
As part of this closure, this website will no longer be updated, functionality will cease, and the content will disappear shortly.  Hence, we recommend download any content that you find useful to your local machine.
We are very grateful for the collaborative relationships we have built over the years supporting the critical work undertaken together in advancing clinical research. We are also touched by the many kind words we have received from colleagues outlining the myriad ways we have helped support and secure clinical trials in this country.
Sincerely,
HRB-NCTO team
