Learning aim D: Understand how scientific information may be stored and communicated in a
workplace laboratory
Volunteer records need to be accessed by the research assistants because their role
includes performing research, collecting, and analysing large sets of data, which
incorporates in this case the volunteer records, they can find differences between the
different records of volunteers, and new effective developments can occur.
The chief nurse must access the clinical records as they must input the data of individual
volunteers, that had been previously discussed or verified by the nurses. The chief nurse
might need to pass this information to clinical administrators as they also need access to the
volunteer records because they oversee health records of volunteers that have been sent by
their GP and personal records, details such as age, name. They need to keep them secure,
organised and updated to pass them further correctly verified.
Laboratory technicians need to examine the chemical structure of each drug as they tend to
perform the wet work and the chemical analysis. They then can pass their analysed details
to research assistants who will research and test different drugs, they can suggest new ideas
for drugs to alter the chemical structure of each drug to see if they can find a new variant.
The raw materials are coming through the goods in operatives because they must ensure
that products are in stock control and the details are updated and securely stored. This
information is passed to goods in manager where they receive the raw materials, and they
need to access the records about them as they are responsible for substances being suitable
as each item received is used up. They might communicate with manufacture operatives
also because they are in charge of accessing the records too about raw materials because
they input the data into the manufacturing system in order for the drugs to be made, they
need to know if the substances are hazardous to health.
Clinic:
Clinical department stores clinical trial records and volunteer personal records.
The nurses will investigate each individual volunteer by their personal details such as: age,
name, address, following a Data Protection Act. These details are recorded into a LIMS
system. In the case of using a paper-based system they create a handwritten volunteer
record.
, For example In the York teaching hospital, all staff is required to sign a confidentiality
statement because personal details of patients need to be kept private. This is shown on the
GDPR which states that it is a “legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and
processing of personal information from individuals who live in the EU”

Large data that is processed by the clinic is stored in the clinical department in large
cupboards, secured and protected. The nurses need to look in the cupboards for each
volunteer and update them individually with the details from the GP surgery. This can be a
medical history which has to be verified, for example looking at allergies, to ensure that the
volunteer meets the criteria of participating in the clinical trials. This can often be a problem
when storing personal data in a paper-based system because it occupies space in the
cabinets and often is too difficult to find a file. In a digital system this is also an issue
because the organisation needs to invest in high-tech servers which will occupy space in the
office or building.
The paper records sent by the GP surgery are transferred either by post email or an
approved courier, which needs to follow a data protection act. Once they arrive…..
