The investigator site file (ISF) for all non-UCL/UCLH sponsored studies (this includes commercial sponsored and externally sponsored non-commercial studies, where UCLH is a site) are to be archived with Iron Mountain. Staff are to request boxes, labels and arrange collection using their IM-Connect username and password.

If a department or user does not have access to Iron Mountain’s portal IM-Connect (www.ironmountainconnect.com) a request should be sent to uclh.medicalrecordsMH@nhs.net, with details of the department name, study budget code, the authorised user name with email address, address & telephone number  for where the deliveries and collections will be used which will then enable Medical Records to create an account.
