DMS INTEND TO AWARD RESEARCH INTO A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF VOLATILE ANAESTHETIC AGENTS WITH INTRAVENOUS SEDATION IN TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI)

Description

Defence Medical Services intend to award the Intravenous Sedation in Traumatic Brain Injury Contract, otherwise known as TBI, single source contract with an NHS University Teaching Hospital (UHNM). This is required for completion of PHD study as the student is based in this specific site and cannot conduct this research at another site. The trust will be contracted to provide supervision and facilities that will enable the student to conduct the PhD (research) study. Lot 1: The requirement is part of an ongoing four-year PhD study, the military student is conducting a clinical trial with University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM), which also forms part of his military clinician duties. These clinical trials will be conducted in years two and three of the PhD. The PhD was endorsed and began in September 22. His PhD is being undertaken with Staffordshire University which is also conveniently placed for the student to maintain both his clinician skills and receive the appropriate academic support. Additional information: The Authority will proceed to enact the single source procedure and engage with the UHNM. Institutions are welcome to enquire by emailing Luke.morgan143@mod.gov.uk this VTN will remain open for 30 calendar days.
