Arrangements for handling changes, amendments, or closure of studies as a result of the DHSC initiative to revitalise the NHS research portfolio
Date: 25 May 2022
On 22 March 2022, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) issued an important communication to research sponsors and funders to specify that urgent action must be taken to address the current research delivery challenges in the NHS.
The communication provides guidance for sponsors who need to act because of this review and have now decided to amend or close their studies. It is important to remember that regularly reviewing the continuation of any study is an important component in ensuring it remains ethically robust.
The amendment tool provides guidance on the relevant options to select for each scenario.
