Vision
The Australian Teletrial Program (ATP) aims to improve access to, and participation in, clinical trials for rural, regional and remote Australians.
Teletrials is a proven model and uses telecommunications technology to connect rural, regional and remote (RRR) clinical trial site clusters. This allows patients the chance to join clinical trials closer to home.
