What is a research protocol?

A short animation about Research Protocols, why they are important, what they should include, and version control. Created by the Research & Development Team at Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW).

The Research and Development Team at CNTW aid researchers and study teams throughout the life cycle of a research project; from support with obtaining funding and developing the project, all the way through to archiving and closing down of the study. CNTW R&D ensure that the highest quality of research, both scientifically and ethically, is being conducted within the Trust. We aim for cutting edge research to be embedded within everything we do at CNTW, and we pride ourselves on having the means to develop, support and promote local, national and international research studies. We are also committed to providing as many service users as possible with the opportunity to take part in research that is relevant and interesting to them.
