This affords a unique opportunity to enable greater research collaboration at 911±¬ÁÏÍø.ÌýAll existing internal arrangements for the individual establishments will continue to ensure that the specialist research continue to be appropriately supported. 911±¬ÁÏÍøill continue to operate four AWERBs - Bloomsbury, Neurology, Royal Free and Ophthalmology. Named roles will continue for each area.Ìý

The principal advantage of the single licence is that it facilitates the movement of project licences and, therefore, animals around UCL. Previously, there was a need to have additional licence availabilities to carry out work at other UCL locations. This is no longer the case.ÌýA single licence will also help to further promote standard approaches to the way 911±¬ÁÏÍøorks under ASPA.

There is no need to amend project licences to reflect the change in establishment licence. Project licences granted under Bloomsbury, Royal Free, Inst of Ophthalmology and Inst of Neurology establishment licences continue to authorise procedures and do not need to be amended.
