This paper provides a critical discussion of the research governance approval processes faced in a nationally-funded primary care health service survey. The study is investigating how a range of English primary care organisations are addressing child protection and safeguarding children responsibilities in the light of a wealth of policy directives following publication of the report of Lord Laming's inquiry into the death of Victoria Climbié in 2003. The principal investigator is a member of a local research ethics committee and has a good working knowledge of the Research Governance Framework. However, following multi-centre research ethics committee approval, a whole catalogue of difficulties emerged in gaining research governance approval for this study from primary care organisations. These challenges and our lessons for primary care are outlined in an organisational case study with the intention of generating debate around this fundamental stage in the research process. With the current restructuring of primary care, we believe the time is right to streamline research governance procedures.
本文对一项由国家资助的初级保健健康服务调查中所面临的研究治理审批流程进行了批判性讨论。该研究正在调查一系列英国初级保健机构如何根据2003年拉明勋爵对维多利亚·克利比死亡事件调查的报告发布后大量的政策指令，履行儿童保护和保障儿童的职责。首席研究员是当地研究伦理委员会的成员，对研究治理框架有充分的实际工作了解。然而，在获得多中心研究伦理委员会批准后，从初级保健机构获得该研究的研究治理批准时出现了一系列困难。我们通过一个组织案例研究概述了这些挑战以及我们从初级保健中吸取的教训，旨在围绕研究过程中的这一基础阶段引发讨论。鉴于当前初级保健的重组，我们认为简化研究治理程序的时机已经成熟。
