New ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH policy on interventional procedures
17 October 2018
¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH has revised its policy on the introduction of new interventional procedures.
The policy sets out the mandatory requirements which all ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH staff must comply with if they wish to introduce an interventional procedure that is:
- new to ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH or
- new to ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH and for emergency or compassionate use for named patients or
- new to ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH and pre-trial or
- a major modification to an existing interventional procedure or
- new site or new indication for an existing interventional procedure.
Clinicians must ensure compliance with this policy, and any clinicians introducing new interventional procedures without appropriate permissions and review will be referred to their clinical director for consideration of this issue during their formal appraisal.
