I attended the first Archiving Masterclass developed by the NHS Research and Development Forum earlier this week to update our knowledge within the unit on this increasingly important issue in research.
Liz Hooper, a specialist in the content, set-up, management and archiving of the TMF; for pharmaceutical companies, CROs and NHS sites involved in clinical research spoke about management of archiving and the retrievals and destruction processes. Linda Henderson, a Research Manager from Northern Devon NHS Trust who has previously worked as a Quality Manager in a large teaching hospital spoke about her archiving experiences.
The day also involved discussions on work instructions and SOPs and what the content of these should include. Following this masterclass we will be undertaking a review of our archiving SOP to ensure we are fully compliant with all regulations.
