Shining a Spotlight on real users of EDGE
We shine a spotlight on Dr Mikayala King from University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust who details how the Trust rolled out the EDGE Delegation Log across all sponsored studies, supported by staff workshops, one-to-one guidance and integrated training. The digital solution has reduced sign-off times, delegation-related incidents and printing, while improving efficiency, record accuracy and cross-site collaboration.
We shine a spotlight on Donna Foster from The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust who shares how EDGE helped identify gaps in research finance tracking. The Trust implemented EDGE finance tools to capture study activity and improve cost recovery and within three months, the department recovered over £100,000 in previously unclaimed income, improved invoicing efficiency and achieved its highest-ever research income during 2024/25.
