We gained formal written approval from each NHS Trust. NHS Trusts do not typically generate new reference numbers for site level participation in a study. Rather, they refer to a Central Portfolio Management System (CPMS) reference which they use to allocate local recruitment to the same study. For LP-MAESTRO the CPMS ID was 18727.
