Is your site ready to start a trial?

What it is:

The up-to-date and user-friendly Monitoring Site Initiation Visit (SIV) Report Template can be used to report a site initiation visit.

What it can do:

This template is a step-by-step checklist with convenient drop-down lists. It guides monitors through all the important aspects of a site initiation visit (SIV), so they can assess whether a site is ready to start a clinical trial. It is part of a series of monitoring templates that includes:

We particularly recommend using this template within the SCTO’s CTU Network for investigator-initiated, multicentre studies. It can also be used as a self-assessment form for study sites in anticipation of a site initiation visit.
