The national standards that onCore UK will help set and maintain will make it much easier for NHS trusts to participate by acquiring samples from patients and transferring them to researchers. Standard practical workflows and documentation packages will lower the administrative burden for trusts.
One of the keys to success will be the harmonisation of nationally applicable approaches to informed consent from patients and to ethics committee approval.
NHS trusts that partner onCore UK will have the opportunity to add to their service portfolio while managing risk and restoring the confidence of staff and the public.
Trusts that work with onCore UK will have their infrastructure funded to enable them to meet our standards. And funding mechanisms will be clear, so that trust managers can be confident that revenue will not be diverted from core patient care.
By contributing their individual experiences and efforts for the greater good in the development of a huge resource, staff will have the chance to ensure that the NHS becomes the world leader in biobanking.
