The Research Governance Framework (RGF)

Background

Over the years there have been a number of stories in the media about the distress caused when research in health or social care has not been carried out to high standards.
In response to this, the Department of Health (DH) published the “Research Governance Framework for Health and Social Care.”
All research on Health and Social Care undertaken by anyone within Leicestershire and Rutland needs to adhere to the Framework.
