YNiC Forms
This page contains all publicly accessible forms and documents for use at YNiC. YNiC users can find internal forms at https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/forms
Participant Forms
YNiC General Consent Form (version 2)
YNiC Registration and General Consent form. Every participant must have completed one of these. This should be submitted to the YNiC reception at least one working day before the planned scan session.
- Session consent forms
Note: It should generally not be necessary to download these forms for individual participants; if participant details are given to YNiC in advance (via the booking system), personalised forms will be prepared in advance of the scan. However, you must ask your participant all of the questions on the form as part of your screening process, in order to identify any contraindications.
- If you need a Level 3 authorisation signature for a participant (for any contraindications, see below), you can ask reception to print a subject-specific session form for your project, ahead of the scan date, to be authorised.
Contraindications: if your participant answered 'Yes' to any of the questions on the safety form (with the exception of tattoos), you should contact support@ynic.york.ac.uk to first check the eligibility of the participant (please include all relevant information, e.g. model names of any implants), and then if it is confirmed that the participant can be scanned, you MUST receive signed authorisation from a Level 3 operator AT LEAST one working day before your scan. We cannot guarantee that Level 3 operators will be available to sign safety forms on the day of the scan; if this situation arises you will be unable to scan your subject. Once the safety form has been authorised you can ask reception to attach this to your subject's General Consent form for storing securely, which you will collect from reception on the day of your scan session.
- MRI Session form
- MEG Session form
- TMS Session form
User Registration Forms
In order to use any of the YNiC facilities (including open plan), you MUST attend a YNiC User Induction. Please contact support@ynic.york.ac.uk to book your place on the next planned induction.
To receive a login account for the YNiC IT systems you must have completed the YNiC user induction, and be on the University of York's (UoY) people database, i.e. have a UoY username. If you are staff or a student you will be issued with this username when you start at the University. If you are collaborating with UoY faculty then they must request that you are added to this system - this prompts the creation of a UoY username and standard University online training (e.g. GDPR).
- This form is to be filled out and signed by all users and investigators in order to receive a login account for the YNiC IT systems. This form will typically be given to you to complete during your user induction.
YNiC Appropriate Data Usage Declaration
- Before being given an account, all users must also sign the YNiC Appropriate Data Usage Declaration - this agreement states that the user will only use data in a manner that abides by the rules of the YNiC Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), or the user will obtain an independent DPIA and submit that to the YNiC Ethics Committee for approval.
