1 Imperial Clinical Research Facility Guide for Patients, Volunteers and their Visitors
2 About the Imperial Clinical Research Facility The new NIHR/Wellcome Trust Imperial CRF (ICRF) is the latest chapter in a long history of clinical research taking place in Hammersmith. The ICRF opened in February 2012 and is the dedicated clinical research facility for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. The purpose-built building was partly funded by a 6.2m capital award from the Wellcome Trust and occupies the ground floor of the new 71m Imperial Centre for Translational and Experimental Medicine. The ICRF has its own entrance and reception area, but recognising the need to provide a safe environment for Phase 1 studies, it is also easily accessible from Hammersmith Hospital. It provides comfortable clinical accommodation for healthy volunteers and patients taking part in studies requiring long-term in-house monitoring as well as facilities for day case visits. It is equipped to cater for studies from across the range of medical disciplines and provides space for clinical research fellows, nurses and allied healthcare professionals. The ICRF is staffed with experienced medical teams including GCP-trained research nurses and physicians, and operational staff fully trained in research governance and regulatory affairs. The ICRF has recently been awarded a further 10.9m NIHR funding to continue to provide support for translational medicine studies, allowing us to continue carrying out ground breaking research that not only benefits our local community, but people globally.

At the ICRF, there is a security desk inside the main door which covers the whole building and is open from 8am-5pm. Security will allow you entry into the building if you are due for a study visit. After security you will find the reception area for the ICRF through the doors on the right. This is open from 9am-5pm. If you or your visitors arrive outside of these hours, an intercom system is available at the front entrance of the building for you to use. A member of staff will then meet you to give you access to the unit. During your visit with us please let the nurse or researcher looking after you on the day know if you need to leave the ICRF at any time. Visiting Hours Visiting hours are from 9am-8pm. If your friends and relatives wish to visit outside of these times, please check whether this is possible with the nurse in charge first. Visitors are very welcome, but are limited to two per patient or volunteer at any one time. We ask visitors to remain quiet on the wards to avoid disturbing other patients or volunteers. Children are welcome provided they are supervised by a responsible adult at all times and they do not disturb other patients or volunteers. Visitors may be asked to leave if medical or nursing care needs to be carried out.

There are a number of things you can do when coming into hospital to help minimise infection: When you arrive or leave the CRF, please wash your hands and/or apply alcohol hand gel from a dispenser. The alcohol gel dispensers are available at every bedside and in all clinical areas. Simply rub the gel onto dry hands and let it evaporate. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the toilet. Please encourage your visitors to use the alcohol hand gel before and after they come to see you. Fire alarms and exits Fire exits are situated at both ends of the main corridor within Imperial CRF and at the main entrance to the centre, indicated by a green emergency exit sign. The evacuation signal is a continuous audible alert. If it is necessary to evacuate the building, the assembly area for patients and volunteers is on the ground floor, south corridor near the echocardiograph department, which is located on the main hospital corridor at the front of the hospital. In the event of a fire or the fire alarm going off, please follow the instructions of the nurse in charge.

11 Tell us about your experience We value your feedback and would like to hear about your experience. We may ask you to participate in our patient experience survey using an i-track hand held device. The surveys are completely anonymous so you are reassured that your answers will not have a negative influence on your care. This feedback is important as it will help us to improve the care we provide. How to raise a concern or make a complaint Often the quickest and easiest way to resolve a problem or get an answer to any questions you may have is to speak to the staff who are caring for you or the nurse in charge. If you are not satisfied with the action taken or would like assistance in resolving your concerns please speak to our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) on or The PALS team act independently when dealing with the concerns of patients, carers or visitors and can help negotiate prompt solutions on your behalf. Imperial CRF Patient and Public Involvement Group Our Patient and Public Involvement Group is a panel of people interested in making a difference to the way we carry out clinical research at the ICRF. Members are invited to share their opinions on a range of topics, from what we should be studying, through to how user-friendly the information we give to study participants is, right through to sharing the results of our clinical trials. Because people lead busy lives, many of our activities will take place online so you can complete them in your own time. You can also pick and choose the activities you wish to take part in. In return we will offer free training and support. If you are invited to travel to the CRF for activities such as focus groups we will pay for your travel and related expenses. To find out more please ask our Patient and Public Involvement Manager, Danielle Neal. She can be found sitting behind the reception desk, or contact her: danielle.neal@imperial.nhs.uk Phone:
