Conducting research at St Andrew's
If you are interested in conducting research at St Andrew's Healthcare you will need to complete relevant documentation. We encourage you to email research@stah.org with information about your proposed project. We can then organise an initial project meeting.
Project Application
You will see an application form to conduct your research on this page.
We also have a "Recruitment only" application form. This form is to request approval for St Andrew's Healthcare to participate as a recruitment site in a project funder by a statutory funding body and/or with a full protocol (either approved by or pending submission to an NHS REC). Should this be appropriate to your project then please contact research@stah.org to discuss the next steps.
Research Passport
A Research Passport Application is usually required for external researchers - check out our Research Passport Algorithm.
For example you will not need a research passport if:
- you are employed by an NHS organisation;
- you are an independent contractor (e.g. GP) or employed by an independent contractor;
- you have an honorary clinical contract with an NHS Trust e.g. clinical academics. In this situation if you wanted to research in another NHS Trust you would need to apply to their research and development (R&D) department directly for a Letter of Access;
- you are a student on a healthcare placement.
