CONSENTS: A consent form is needed for medical records and the CTC. This needs to be signed, dated, and witnessed for each person enrolled in a study. A total of four consents need to be signed by each patient for each study. One copy is for the shadow file, one is for Medical Records, one is for the CTC file and one is for the patient.
PROTOCOL: The manager will need a copy of the protocol at least two weeks prior to starting any study. The protocol will enable the manager to complete a calculation sheet for the proposed budget to do the study in the CTC. A copy of the protocol will also need to be given to the Research Pharmacist, Jim Simpson. He will also inform you of any pharmacy fees that will apply to your study.
