  15. Do you have any questions?

  16. Focus areas – Challenges • Risk management, risk assessment and risk based monitoring • How should we satisfy the requirements of GCP R2? Tolerance limits? Can we do risk assessment in the same way? • On-site monitoring and centralized monitoring • How can monitor and data manager collaborate in an efficient manner?

  17. Focus areas – Challenges cont. • Challenge: Monitor in Trondheim, data manager in Oslo – How to work efficiently? • Regulation 536/2014 on clinical trials on medicinal products and ISO 13485 Medical devices • Increasing interest from the investigators: Do we have all the standard operating procedures that we need? Do we have the knowledge to help the investigator? Need training.
