Homerton R&D approval for research projects

All research projects (including student research) involving hospital staff, patients and/or facilities at Homerton Hospital must have gained both ethics and R&D management approval before the study can start at Homerton. 

If  you do not have this letter of approval you may not begin a research project – doing so constitutes research misconduct.

If the study you are involved in at Homerton Hospital is recruiting patients into the study but the treatment and care is being carried out at another hospital, for example at Barts, then you only need to register the study with the R&D office at Homerton Hospital.

If you are involved in or any Homerton resources are being used in a reserach study that is not being conducted at Homerton Hospital you will need to register the research project wtih the R&D office at Homerton Hospital.
