User story feedback on Research Facilitation. "The facilitation service provided was effective for immediate implementation."

Summary: Eugene had query regarding sensitivity of data from a clinical trials and I proposed that as the data did not identify individuals, Medical Sciences IT Service Manager Caetano Joannes provided a network shared drive that would meet Eugene's requirement.

Q1. Briefly, what were the queries or requirements you contacted us research facilitators about? 

WGTU is providing clinical products for ophthalmic clinical trials and in future, proposes to hold a Specials License which may require supplying products to named patients . As it is vital for patent sensitive data to be held appropriately in accordance with national regulations, WGTU wanted IT to assist in the appropriate storage and handling of patient sensitive data by staff.
