We have been asked to explore and share the site set up practice, challenges, and improvement suggestions of NHS R&D departments when setting up commercially driven studies as sites. Our findings will be shared with industry colleagues, NIHR CRNCC, HRA and the devolved administrations. We will not share any identifying information. 

Please share your views and a wish list of what you would like to see to improve the set up of commercial studies in the UK. This might include your experience of starting up new industry studies including for example: industry & CRO processes, Capacity and Capability, mCTA sign-off, implementation of protocol amendments etc.

The survey will be open until the 14th December. 

Thank you
 
Tracy Assari, Kate Greenwood
