Qualitative responses for ease
The main themes from all respondents in the free text questions focused on site variability and inconsistencies across sites, plus delays with pharmacy set-up and capacity.
A small number of respondents who identified themselves as working for NHS or HSC organisations told us that they were experiencing improved ease of study site set-up with clearer information. They also told us that the ability to set up in parallel to HRA approval has sped up the set-up process at NHS sites
