Research Governance
Even if you do not submit your project for ethical approval you are still required to inform the School of Medical and Health Sciences that the research is taking place using one of the methods outlined below.
Project Registration/Review for Secondary Data Analysis
Projects involving the analysis of secondary data may still require ethical approval. Please download the Project Registration/Review Form here, and submit to the Chair of the Ethics Committee for consideration, along with a copy of your research proposal. Further guidance on secondary data analysis is included in the Research Policy. You can contact the Chair of the Ethics Committee at d.seddon@bangor.ac.uk.
Service Evaluation
Prior to the work commencing, you will need to email the following documents to the Chair of the NWMS/SHS Academic Research Ethics Committee:
- Copy of your service evaluation protocol
- Copy of the completed HRA decision tool which helps us to distinguish between research (as defined by the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research) and service evaluation work: https://www.hra-decisiontools.org.uk/research/
Project Registration and Radiation Register for Experiments Based in X-ray Room
The Project Registration and Radiation Register form can be downloaded here. Please complete the form and submit to the designated Radiation Protection Supervisor for approval. The signed copy should then be submitted to the Chair of the Ethics Committee. You can contact the Chair of the Ethics Committee via d.seddon@bangor.ac.uk.
