Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Guidance Documents
This section contains the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidance documents issued by the R&I department. When a new SOP is authorised, or when an existing SOP is revised, Chief Investigators must ensure all staff within their team are trained on the relevant SOP and this training documented in a training record.
If you require assistance with SOP training please contact researchoffice@gmmh.nhs.uk
The R&I office will endeavour to ensure all relevant staff are notified when a new or updated document has been approved for implementation. However, we encourage all investigators to visit this page regularly to ensure that they are aware of and working to the latest SOPs and guidance documents relevant to their research.
