Once a study has been given Management Approval from R&D Governance, a unique lab reference (LR) number will be allocated to that specific study.
The LR number will be used to create a test order set on the online TRAKcare system. This order set will include all the tests required for that particular study and is there to make it easy for the member of research team who is ordering the tests, as well as to ensure all research tests performed are captured for each study.
