Conducting a research study with CPFT

There are a number of different kinds of projects involving data collection, research, audit, service evaluation, Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives, case notes studies and student projects.  All of them require formal approval and authorisation from the Trust before NHS participants can be approached or data can be collected.
