UK policy framework for health and social care research - Issued for public consultation

The Health Research Authority and the Devolved Administrations are consulting on a new UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research following the initial comments period.

This sets out principles of good practice in the management and conduct of health and social care research in the UK.

It will replace the four separate Research Governance Frameworks previously issued by each UK Health Department.

The policy framework and response form are available at www.hra.nhs.uk/about-the-hra/consultations-calls/uk-policy-framework-health-social-care-research-consultation-active

The consultation runs from Friday 18 December 2015 until Thursday 24 March 2016 inclusive.

We hope you will be interested to see the proposed new policy framework and will take the opportunity to comment.
