Peer Review of the scientific, ethical and practical aspects of the proposed clinical trial by experienced researchers in the field of study is important and a critical part of the ethics and governance processes of clinical research.

• Peer review can help you develop a high quality, well organised and efficient clinical trial that can deliver effective interventions, treatments and tests to patients sooner.
• Communicate your idea for the clinical trial to your peers and other successful trialists who can help assess the scientific value and clinical relevance of your idea.
• Seek critical feedback from friends and colleagues; it’s much better to have early constructive criticism from people you know, than find critical flaws later in the development of the project.
