What is the Impact of Body Donation
As an educator, I strive to help students understand the subject of anatomy. However, so much learning happens without me, and that’s a wonderful thing.
Research
Working in University research
I am Designated Individual (DI) for the University of Warwick’s HTA Research Licence, which covers two sites, one at the University campus and the other in laboratory space that the University rents from a local NHS Trust. We have five departments where human tissue is used in research, with great diversity in the projects, tissue types and characters involved in the research.
Evaluated self-assessments
At the HTA, we have used different inspection models over the years although our core approach has been a site-based inspection, typically with two inspecting staff.
Research Licensing Standards and Guidance
This guidance helps licensed establishments to meet the HTA’s research licensing standards. The documents contain additional information and examples of how to meet certain standards.
