RESOURCES
Participant Information Sheets, Consent Forms & IRAS forms
We have a small growing SharePoint repository of Participant Information Sheets and Consent Forms and forms for applying for permissions and approvals for health research (e.g. IRAS forms). These documents have been shared with us by TwiCs researchers in order to support other researchers wanting to use this design approach for their studies. If you are interested please contact c.relton@qmul.ac.uk.
