For performance on initiating clinical research, UH Bristol must
now measure and publish data on the days elapsing between the time
we receive a valid research application for a clinical trial and
the time when the first patient is recruited to the trial, for all
the clinical trials we host. This applies to all clinical trials
irrespective of the funder. Wherever the duration exceeds 70 days,
we will be expected to explain the reason for the delay to
the NIHR in writing. Fore more information on what the NIHR targets
consist of and how we can reach them, read our guidance document.
If you have any queries on the process, phone Research and
Innovation on 0117 342 0233 and we will be happy to help.
