We are thrilled to welcome Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust to the growing EDGE Community!
As research continues to play an increasingly important role in improving patient care and developing new treatments and approaches, having robust systems in place to support research delivery is essential. By adopting EDGE, the R&D department at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust is taking an important step towards strengthening its research infrastructure and enhancing the way research is managed and delivered across its services.
EDGE will provide the Trust with a central platform to support effective research governance and management, helping teams to streamline processes, monitor performance, and make informed decisions about resources. By bringing greater visibility and structure to research activity, EDGE will improve communication amongst teams and efficiency.
The implementation of EDGE represents more than simply introducing a new system. It is an opportunity to build on existing processes, support working together across research services, and establish a strong foundation for the Trust's future research ambitions.
Helping deliver high-quality research outcomes
We caught up with Jean Kinder, Senior Clinical Research Practitioner, to hear about the department's experience following the implementation of EDGE:
“Our R&D department fully endorses the use of EDGE as a key component of our research infrastructure. We believe the platform will support the effective governance, management, and delivery of clinical research, while enhancing transparency, performance monitoring, and resource planning.
Our department is committed to supporting its adoption across research services to help deliver high-quality research outcomes for patients, staff, and partners. We look forward to the benefits it will bring and thank EDGE for their expert guidance and support throughout our implementation journey.”
Making the most out of EDGE
Jean's comments highlight the Trust's commitment to making the most of EDGE and embedding it across its research services. The EDGE platform will support the R&D team as it continues to deliver high-quality research and contributes to better outcomes for patients and the wider research community.
Stevie Barre, EDGE Client Manager for Tameside shared the following:
“It is a pleasure to welcome Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust to the EDGE community. Their adoption of EDGE is an important step in supporting their research teams and improving the way research is managed across the organisation. A special thank you goes to Jean and Rebecca, who were instrumental throughout the implementation process.”
We are incredibly pleased to have Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust join the EDGE Community and look forward to supporting the team as they continue on their EDGE journey. Welcome on board!
