Documents, procedures
and templates
We are building a free to access repository of downloads covering methods, standard operating procedures and templates used in research across our research themes.
Here you can view and download these, alongside communications templates and stationery for Southampton clinical researchers and BRC staff.

SOP template for your quality assurance work
Strict management of detailed and accurate SOPs is core to any quality assured research activity. We've provided a free to use SOP template that can be customised for your institution or project, alongside an illustrative example. You can download these via the links below.
Our research methods and SOPs
Our nutritional assessment toolkit is the first package provided under our methodology sharing programme. You can view and download the SOPs and protocols that form the toolkit here.
