Implementation of the UK Local Information Pack
From 5th June 2019 researchers working with NHS/HSC organisations across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will benefit from a consistent package to support study set-up and delivery across the UK.
The UK Local Information Pack contains an Organisation Information Document which has replaced:
- Statement of Activities in England and Wales
- Site Specific Information form in Northern Ireland and Scotland
The Organisational Information Document is required as part of the UK Local Information Pack for non-commercial research.
The UK Local Information Pack contains the documents required to be submitted as part of your full document set for Sponsorship review. The full list of documents are available here.
Please see Submitting to Research Governance for a process flow chart on submitting the Local Information Pack for UoA and NHSG Sponsor review. If your study is not locally sponsored please contact your Sponsor for advice on completing and submiting the Local Information Pack.

I have removed the links to our templates below until we are able to update these to the new version. For the current time please click here to access the newest version of the template document.
