***NEW: Edge End-User trainings and drop-in sessions – 2025 dates now available***
Since 2017 Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) have been using Edge, a Local Portfolio Management System (LPMS), to capture clinical trials data and support the delivery and maintenance of research at CUH.
If you work on studies adopted to the NIHR Portfolio, it is a mandatory requirement to upload patient recruitment data to Edge.
Important:
In this section there are learning resources where you can find out more about Edge.
In this section there is a short video presentation and documents to help guide you through the steps required for you to confirm research activity data in CPMS. You can also find out more about confirmation screen functionality and how to troubleshoot issues.
Please note that the bitly links (which we use to shorten URL links) in the below resources are case sensitive.
Unless your study is an EXCEPTION, all your recruitment activity should be uploaded into Edge only – there should be no duplication of data entry.
If you are working on an exception study, you should already be aware and know where and to whom you should be sending recruitment activity. If you need assistance with whom you should be sending recruitment activity to for an exception study, please email: cuh.edge@nhs.net
Not sure if your study is an exception study? If you need further assistance, please email cuh.edge@nhs.net.
The CUH EDGE Team are holding a series of both online and class-based trainings combined with Drop-in sessions throughout 2025 for all research staff.
EDGE End-User Training is suitable for those new to EDGE and those who would like to refresh their knowledge on adding or updating participant records on Edge for their research studies at CUH.
Drop-In Sessions are for all research staff already using Edge who need support on general use of the Edge system.
Research staff can ask for guidance and support on:
