| Description | Clinical drivers for spine imaging and modelling - Consultant Radiology for optimising imaging modalities for model creating, image registration and virtual surgical planning - |
| Organisation | Cardiff and Vale University Health Board |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | The in vivo dual plane X-ray imaging protocols designed for collection of healthy volunteer data have involved the Cardiff team and consultation with the Exeter team to optimise the protocols for the activities involving spine loading. IRAS and NHS Approval processes have been adhered to, supported by Cardiff University Research Governance, and the letter of approval is pending following minor changes to the Patient Information Sheet |
| Collaborator Contribution | Designing the protocols for imaging and motion analyses for the in vivo aspect of this study at Cardiff has involved consultations with Consultant Spine Surgeon (member of the Project Advisory Board), and Consultant Radiologist (as Clinical sign off for the protocols involving ionising radiation. |
| Impact | Healthy Participant Study documents including: - Protocol - Patient Information Sheet - Consent form |
| Start Year | 2022 |
| Description | Patient and Public Involvement Input to the Project Advisory Board and IRAS Ethics Approval Application - Dr Steven Blackburn |
| Organisation | University of Birmingham |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The Cardiff Team have worked on the IRAS Ethics Application to produce an optimised Protocol, Participant Information Sheet, Consent Form and all associated documents. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Partner member of the Project Advisory Group - Dr Steven Blackburn - Institute of Applied Health Research - Associate Professor - has advised at PAG meetings and also contributed to review of the IRAS documentation. this participation has ensured that the PIS/Consent Form etc are targeted to an appropriate audience for the healthy participant recruitment. Steven is the lead for public involvement in NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) West Midlands. Current Chair of the national RDS Public Involvement Community and Public Involvement Lead for the RDS National Office, responsible for the delivery of a national RDS Public Involvement Strategy. He has contributed to several NIHR initiatives to improve the quality of public involvement and engagement in research. |
| Impact | In vivo spine imaging IRAS documentation that has factored in patient/public involvement: - Participant Information Sheet - Consent Form - Protocol has allowed submission and approval of the in vivo imaging aspects of the study. |
| Start Year | 2021 |
