The best practice guides are aimed at staff working in clinical research within the NHS, specifically at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The various guides have been authored by the staff carrying and supervising such functions and therefore contain links to relevant Standard Operating Procedures, Trust Policies and template documents as well as practical advice on how the materials can be used.

As well as the best practice guides, the tool incorporates all NJRO Policies, Standard Operating Procedures, Work Instructions and Templates that have been deemed appropriate for the NuTH research workforce.
