NHS Ethics, Governance and Sponsorship Drop in Sessions

The clinical research governance team will be running drop-in advice and guidance sessions from January 2025.

These will be held in the business lounge in HiOne every Wednesday morning after the collaboration café until 12:30pm-please come along with any support queries you may have.

The Clinical Research governance officers will also be providing bookable slots every Wednesday afternoon from 13:30-16:30 for more complex queries on research being conducting in the NHS.

Things we may be able to assist with in both the drop-in sessions or bookable slots include:

  • Guidance on items relating to pre-award NHS governance considerations
  • Sponsorship applications and the procedures
  • Regulatory requirements/what approvals you may need
  • Support with IRAS applications
  • Advice on working with NHS research sites and set up
  • Amendments to open studies
  • Closing completed studies and regulatory reporting

For bookable slots, please email the sponsorship inbox with preferred times and dates.
