Title:            Improving Health Faster: A More Strategic Approach to Randomised Trials and Meta-Analyses
 
Abstract:     Randomised Clinical Trials and Meta-Analysis are seen as the apex of evidence generation to inform clinical practice. In some diseases, progress in improving outcomes has been very slow. I will discuss the need to take a more strategic approach to the design of randomised trials and how this can dramatically improve the pace of progress. I will also discuss why we need to, and how we can,  improve the current approach to planning and performing meta-analyses. Examples of how these ideas have already been implemented will be used to illustrate how they might be applied going forwards.
