The good news is…We are already research active The Trust ‘sponsors’ (leads on) approximately 1 in 4 research projects that are approved (around 200 new projects approved every year). Since April 2013 the Trust has recruited approximately 1,500 participants into clinical trials and research projects (average recruitment is around 4,000 participants a year). Most clinical areas are involved in research activity at some level with support from established and growing research teams.
Research ‘Ins and Outs’ • Research participation is not an ‘exclusive’ activity (all patients, relatives and carers should be able to participate or contribute to research). • Research delivery is not an ‘exclusive activity for doctors’ (ideas generated and led by nurses, support staff and allied health professionals are of huge importance). • Research should not be limited to the ‘headline grabbing areas’ (i.e. cardiovascular and cancer). • Research is not just ‘complex drug trials’ (observational, non-interventional and medical device research is equally important).
How is your Trust performing on research? • An annual league table, in collaboration with The Guardian Online shows the most comprehensive picture of clinical research activity available. The report shows that more than 630,000 NHS patients in England took part in clinical research studies last year – the highest level since the Network’s figures began. 2012/13 Large Acute Trusts (44 Trusts) • Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust was 6th in terms of the ‘Number of Recruiting Studies’ • and 8thin terms of ‘Participant recruitment numbers’
Faster, Easier Clinical Research • A common barrier to active research participation from clinical staff is the lengthy and bureaucratic application process. • The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is working to promote faster, easier clinical research to high standards through: • Implementation of a 30 day target for approval of portfolio research from receipt of a ‘valid application’. • Implementation of a 70 day target for first patient recruited into portfolio research from receipt of a ‘valid application’. • Implementation of national research agreement and costing templates. • The Trust performance will be monitored by the NIHR and Trust Board in 2013/14.
