Information on the processes used for managing Research Passports Indicate what processes are used for managing Research Passports Research Passports (RPs) are managed by the R&D Office and HR in accordance with the current guidance: HR Good Practice Resource Pack (http://www.nihr.ac.uk/systems/pages/systems_research_passports.aspx). The flowchart for processing research passports and letters of access (LOAs) is shown below. Where no RP is in place, request researcher to complete RP form and submit to lead NHS HR Dept together with copies of CV, CRB form, EH clearance and other relevant ID documents. HR completes relevant checks, including issue of HRC if necessary and validates RP. HRC issued where necessary Researcher provides RP along with research documentation to R&D at participating NHS site. NHS is researcher s substantive employer Non-NHS employee (e.g. University student) Researcher liaises with R&D at their employing Trust to request an NHS to NHS proforma confirming pre-engagement checks Researcher provides host trust R&D office with a copy of CV and the signed NHS to NHS proforma for review. Researcher has direct patient contact R&D assesses RP and determines whether researcher will have direct or indirect patient contact Researcher has indirect patient contact (e.g. questionnaires) or will not come on site EH Clearance obtained Letter of permission issued for research sent to PI Is RP/HRC in place? Obtain EH clearance Page 12 of 14

ID badge issued YES Obtain EH Clearance NO HR to do preengagement checks and issue HRC Letter of Access issued. ID badge issued ID Badge issued ID badge issued Note: The boxes highlighted in blue show actions to be done at lead NHS site. HRC will be issued by lead site if researcher is carrying out research on that site; if not, a LOA will be issued. Page 13 of 14

Information on the agreed Escalation Process to be used when R&D governance issues cannot be resolved through normal processes Escalation Process The Research and Innovation Strategy Group (RISG), chaired by the R&D Clinical Lead (co-chaired by the Director of Strategy and Business Development), will discuss any issues arising which cannot be resolved through day to day governance processes. Depending on the issue, the matter may also be referred to the relevant specialist, e.g. the Trust legal representative, the Caldicott Guardian, Risk Manager, Medical Director or Assistant Director of Healthcare Governance. The matter may also be discussed by the Quality and Safety Advisory Group or the Quality and Safety Operational Group (Q-SOG). If the issue is a Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR) this will be reported via the Risk Department and escalated through the Serious Untoward Incident procedure within the Trust. All adverse events and reactions are automatically reported to the trials office for the Trial concerned. Planned and Actual Studies Register The Organisation should maintain or have access to a current list of planned and actual studies which its staff lead or collaborate in. Comments The trust holds an internal database and tracker which lists all the current and planned studies. In addition to this all studies undergoing the approval process are tracked at each stage and studies currently running are monitored for level of patient recruitment and performance against target recruitment. All National Portfolio studies currently running are listed on Sharepoint, together with their protocols and other study documentation. Other Information For example, where can information be found about the publications and other outcomes of research which key staff led or collaborated in? Other Information (relevant to the capability of the Organisation) Information regarding publications, conference presentations/posters and the outcomes of research are held in the R&D Office and published in the Annual Report and the Quality Account. A register of IP is also held in the R&D office. Page 14 of 14
