The Centre for Biological Engineering comes under the University Human Tissue Authority Research License. Therefore we have to be complaint to the regulations set out by the HTA.
If you want to work with HTA relevant material you need ensure you complete the specific training and documentation.
Please refer to the HTA Checklist
University HTA Training Modules
The new University HTA Training has now been moved onto a LEARN online platform. People should access using the link below & should be able to enrol themselves onto it to take the modules.
https://learn.lboro.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=26509
Although the title is ’Training for Research involving human participants’ this HTA training covers all aspects of HTA & should be undertaken by all those intending to work with human relevant material or those requiring a refresher ( every two years).
I have included a screenshot below of the four modules ( below)
- Karen Coopman ( University Designated Individual for HTA) has advised that students working in labs who are not directly undertaking research with human tissue, but still need to be aware of human tissue research should take the usual MRC training, but students undertaking direct research activity with human tissue MUST take the usual MRC training and the 4 HTA Loughborough University training modules, Each has an assessment at the end, which after successful completion enables a certificate for individual training records.
As Departmental Quality Manager for HTA for the CBE please could you send me a copy of the certificate so I can add to your HTA training files for audit purposes.

Go through the module and then do the assessment. A copy of the certificate needs to be sent to the CBE Quality Manager.
