UKCRF Network Portal

New UKCRF Network Portal

In March 2020 the UKCRF Hub was relaunched as the UKCRF Portal with the following upgrades:

simplified menu to let you quickly reach the information you need
more up-to-date documentation
new pages to keep you informed about advanced therapies, research awareness and communication tools

What is the UKCRFN Portal?

The Portal builds on our previous Network Hub to provide a simple and secure online platform to store and share documents including:

guidelines and tools e.g. study intensity tool & risk assessment
education and training guidelines e.g. induction framework, emergency scenarios and laboratory skills
job description templates
conference posters / presentations

A list of tools and guidelines developed by the Network and available on the Portal can be found here.
