What are the issues being addressed?Changes in Governance requirements for

medical translational researchAuditable adherence to NHS and MRC trial

processesCommunication within and across project

teamsClinical data capture and reuse

How?A previously funded JISC VRE project called

CORE (collaborative Orthopaedic Research Environment) has explicitly tackled these issues, and so the aim of this project is to take the CORE VRE, embed it into the RNOH
