- Published
This guidance provides clarifications on national research review processes and IR(ME)R legislation, to help make study set-up and the delivery of research easier. One area identified by the UKCRD study set-up project, as a barrier to further streamlining, is inconsistent interpretation of the research specific requirements of IR(ME)R by NHS organisations. These inconsistencies result in unnecessary steps in the set-up of research studies involving ionising radiation exposures, adding to delay.
