The HRA have improved the information provided on their website for student researchers and those who support them, in planning to conduct research within the NHS.
The organisation has provided three bite size eLearning modules with a focus on the following topics:
- Sponsors’ and supervisors’ role in educational research
- Applying for HRA and HCRW (Health and Care Research Wales) Approval
- Setting up research sites in England and Wales.
You can see the update here, and access the modules here.
Remember that support is on offer at BU if you are thinking of introducing your research ideas into the NHS – email the Research Ethics mailbox, and take a look at the Clinical Governance blog.
