Ethics and EU research:
The NHS Research Passport
The Research Passport is a streamlined system for issuing honorary research contracts to researchers who do not have a contractual relationship with the NHS.
Before the Research Passport was introduced, researchers working across multiple NHS sites often needed to get a new contract from each host organisation. Each contract required several pre-engagement checks, for example occupational health checks.
The Research Passport saves valuable time and resources and speeds study start-up times by relying on existing pre-engagement checks and assurances from substantial employers.
