The SOP Controller will endeavour to notify researchers that a new or revised document has been approved for implementation via Stafflink, Q-Pulse and R&D ‘Need to Know’ emails. However, researchers should visit this page regularly to ensure that they are aware of and working to the latest SOPs relevant to their research.
NHS Fife staff wishing to be added to the Q-Pulse system for updates should contact the SOP Controller via fife.randd@nhs.scot.
