Conducting research

Once your study begins, you must manage ongoing responsibilities such as oversight, protocol amendments, recruitment, safety reporting, and end-of-study notifications.

Research strategy

NHS Lothian’s research funding depends on accurate recruitment data. By sharing your monthly figures, you help protect vital research resources like staff time, labs, imaging, and pharmacy support.

Presenting research results

Making research results public is a vital part of responsible research. All studies, whether they show positive, negative, or inconclusive findings, must share their outcomes. This supports future research, builds public trust, and respects the contribution of participants.
