UK Policy Framework - Health and Social Care

The HRA has published a new UK Framework for Health and Social Care Research that replaces the Research Governance Framework. This policy framework sets out the principles of good practice in the management and conduct of health and social care research in the UK. It has implications for organisations and individuals with responsibilities for health and social care research, including funders, sponsors, researcher and their employers, research sites and care providers.

Further information on the policy framework is available on the HRA’s new beta website.

Amendments to the Toolkit in accordance with these changes will be rolled out in the near future.
