While ACTPRAS seeks to improve the quality and impact of clinical research in the field of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, it is not responsible for the outcomes of clinical trials that it facilitates. This responsibility rests with the primary investigator(s) and trial sponsors, as is the case with all clinical trials undertaken in Australasia and elsewhere. By partnering with ACTPRAS, researchers can improve the expertise, resources, collaborators and standards of their clinical trials and thereby increase the impact of their research.
