UK wide survey on implementing amendments at NHS/Health and Social Care organisations

You’ve told us that there are significant issues with the implementation of amendments at participating sites across the UK. Whilst amendments should be implemented uniformly across all sites in line with the UK Policy Framework, this is often not the case.

To understand what we can do to make this better, we’re running two surveys. We want a complete picture of the barriers and enablers to implementing amendments efficiently across the UK. We want to hear from sponsor trial managers as well as participating NHS/Health and Social Care sites.

The surveys are specifically looking at the implementation of amendments at sites rather than any other issues such as submitting amendments. 

If you are a trial manager or trial coordinator for a commercial or non-commercial sponsor organisation, or work in a Clinical Trials Unit/Clinical Research Office on behalf of sponsor organisations please complete the Amendment Survey Trial Managers survey.

If you work in an NHS/Health and Social Care Research & Development/Innovation office, or as part of the participating site delivery team, please complete the Amendment Survey Participating Sites survey.

If you work in an NHS/Health and Social Care Research & Development Office and also sponsor studies, please only complete one of the surveys. Please cascade the Amendment Survey Trial Managers survey to your trial managers to complete.
