Dr Emma Law - So, you think you could be a rater…Maybe not!

Dr Emma Law - So, you think you could be a rater…Maybe not!

Dr Emma Law, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Emma has over 35 years of experience in clinical trials, and in this blog she offers a candid look into the role of a 'rater' within clinical trials. She highlights the necessity for consistency in rating cognitive abilities across global trials and illustrates the challenges faced by raters, including stringent vendor assessments and the paradox of qualifications versus practical experience. Through personal anecdotes, she reveals the often arbitrary nature of rater selection and the impact it can have on research sites, emphasising the need for a more equitable and effective assessment system.
