Policies and Standard Operating Procedures

You can find Policies and Standard Operating Procedures below.

As a sponsor of research, the University has specific responsibilities under the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research and the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004 (the Regulations). The University has developed Policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to provide guidance to researchers and to ensure that these responsibilities are met.

They must be adhered to for all University sponsored studies, and it is a condition of sponsorship that they are read and understood.

For further training on any of the Policies and SOPs below, please contact:
