Early Contact & HI advice

Study teams may benefit from earlier conversations around Health Informatics options to support their study. Your local PRIDES team could look into supporting this activity

Offering Health Informatics advice at Early Contact stage

LCRN may want to consider offering PRIDES advice at this stage of the study lifecycle. This could benefit:

  • PRIDES teams needing more time to start HI development

  • Study teams to make decisions on recruitment techniques earlier

Information governance

Your local PRIDES team may well field queries concerning Information Governance from both internal and external sources. A source of expertise in this area is something to consider

A source of Information Governance (IG) knowledge

LCRN may want to consider offering PRIDES advice concerning IG issues from sources including:

  • Locally sourced expertise known to the LCRN

  • CRN co-ordinating centre advice & guidance

  • An LCRN core team member with appropriate knowledge
