At YNiC this week.. (including important info for MRI operators)
by Andre Gouws 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

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 ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD Manager of Imaging Services York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

MRI Operator cover on scanners for the next 5 weeks
by Andre Gouws 25 Oct '18

25 Oct '18

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 -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD Manager of Imaging Services York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Care Quality Commission Inspection
by Antony Morland 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

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 -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Ethics applications
by Gareth Gaskell 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

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 -- Gareth Gaskell Department of Psychology University of York Heslington, York YO10 5DD UK Office: Psychology, E209 Phone: +44-1904-323187 Email: gareth.gaskell(a)york.ac.uk Home page: https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academicstaff/mgg5/ Research group: https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/research/facilities/slam/
