DHSC – Processes for Managing and Monitoring Studies in your Trust – We are asking for help from the R&D Community
Date: 26 March 2024
Dear R&D Directors/Forum,
The Full Government Response to the Lord O’Shaughnessy Review of Commercial Clinical Trials included a commitment to implement a developing a new research delivery performance system in 2025/2026, which aims to reduce the administrative burden for research delivery teams, give better visibility to all research activity that takes place in the NHS and improve the timeliness of data uploads on research activity. The new system will capture all studies which require HRA Approval, not solely the NIHR CRN portfolio. In order to develop the system effectively, we are trying to understand the full spread of the systems that NHS trusts currently use to manage and monitor all their research activity. This will help us to identify where duplication occurs with an aim to reduce this where possible in the design of the new system.
As such, the policy team in DHSC have asked us to send round the short google form (max 6 questions) to understand your processes for managing and monitoring studies in your trust. We would much appreciate if you could fill this out as it will be invaluable in shaping the next steps for the new system (which you will be engaged in for further consultation in due course). Could you please complete this form by 11/04/2024.
The link to the form can be found here https://forms.gle/HAo7CNZSj6zbEn9u9
Any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Isabel.taylor1@dhsc.gov.uk
