There are a few things to bring to your attention this week:
*Final metal screening (with the aid of a metal detector)*
There will be a training session in place of the seminar tomorrow @ 4pm
(Thursday the 1st of Nov). All MRI operators are invited to attend to
learn our new policy on final subject metal screening and to train in
the use of the metal detectors we will use to aid this final screening.
Please note:
* Operators already trained with the metal detector do not need to attend.
* We will be temporarily suspending all operators on the database and
will only reinstate operator status once this training has been
completed - a register will be taken tomorrow so that is your chance to
keep your operator status live.
*Activity at YNiC*
The MScI (m-sci) scanning has begun this week and places a significant
load on YNiC operators. Further to a previous email, additional
operator-covered slots have been added to the booking system to
facilitate ongoing research scanning. Please note that during this
period we use every opportunity to train new operators and this may mean
us training an operator during your scanning session. Thanks in advance
for your cooperation.
Best wishes,
--
André

Hello
We have a new remote desktop cluster available for existing users of the
remote desktop service at YNiC. This new setup has a group of desktops and
will connect you to the whichever is the least used at that time.
Details on how to connect are available on the wiki,
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/NewRemoteDesktop.
If you would like to use this, please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. This
service is only available to Psychology staff, PhD students, Postdoctoral
Researchers and PIs.
Thanks

Hello All,
We are about to start a period of scanning for MSci projects. These
slots (16 hours per week) are covered by YNiC operators. In addition to
the 7.5 hours we need to staff our clinical scanning, we are adding more
operator covered slots (18 hours) to allow PIs to undertake their research.
Given the amount of operator covered slots we are using them as level 1
training opportunities as much as possible.
During this period, YNiC staff will have less time to help with other
issues, so please keep that in mind.
Many thanks
Tony, Mark and André

Hello All,
Our clinical service will be inspected on a Monday occurring in the
remainder of this month or all of next month. The inspectors come without
any notice. The outcome of the inspection is a rating, which, depending on
the the level we achieve, will allow is continue with the service
effectively. We want to be rated as highly as possible.
We anticipate that the inspectors will attend between 10am and 6pm. If you
are at the centre during these hours, please be aware that many of the
staff here may be busy cooperating with the inspectors. It would also be
very much appreciated if during your time here you could use the reception
area minimally and as always recognise the needs of the patients, who will
be waiting for their scan in reception.
Thank you
Tony

We're seeing some NFS issues on the remote desktop server and so will be

Please save any work and log off before this time.

Dear all,
just a quick reminder to anyone planning to put in a new YNiC ethics
application that the forms at the full application stage have changed,
including the application form, the consent form and the participant
information sheet. This means that it's much better to start afresh from
the templates provided here <https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/forms> than to
rework an older outdated application.
For users who are new to the system, the procedure for applying to run a
study at YNiC is given here
<https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/application>.
Many thanks,
Gareth
YNiC REC Chair
