Clinical Research Compliance Team (CRCT)

As per the Deviation and Serious Breach Reporting SOP (Word - 74 KB), all serious breaches must be reported to the Research Governance and Ethics Team: 

• Telephone: +44 (0)121 415 8011
• Email: researchgovernance@contacts.bham.ac.uk

As per the Clinical Research Quality Manual (Word - 559 KB), the UoB would not normally act as a ‘site’ for regulated clinical trials or surgery trials (i.e. Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMPs) or of medical devices). 

While exceptions to this may occasionally be made, where an exception is made this will be documented in writing in a letter from the University’s Head of Research Governance and Integrity. 

This means that no patients on CTIMPs, regulated device trials or surgery trials may be recruited, receive treatment or other interventions on University premises without the express written permission of the Head of Research Governance and Integrity.

See the UoB Brexit transition guidance for clinical research provided by the Research Governance Team.
