Royal Free research governance following acquisition of Barnet and Chase Farm

Conditions and principles that will apply to the management of research studies following the merger are outlined in this information sheet.

This information is relevant to investigators and research teams in both organisations and all staff setting up, or planning to set-up, new studies in either organisation.

According to a report by the foundation trust regulator Monitor the acquisition will allow the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust to provide sustainable, quality services for local patients and improve patient care through new clinical models.
