Register for a database account

This page contains information on how to be added to the electronic delegation log, and gain access to the BADBIR database.

We no longer accept paper delegation logs; new members of staff working on BADBIR need to have a database account in order to be added to the electronic delegation log.

If your hospital is already approved to take part, here are the steps you need to carry out in order to gain access to the database:

  • Step 1: Register for a database account here - once you’ve made an account, you will be able to log into the database in order to complete the next steps of the registration process.
  • Step 2: Wait for us to allocate you a to a centre using the information you provided when you created your account. You will receive an email when you can proceed to the next step. 

Left Panel: A yellow-bordered box titled "Your BADBIR Centre" with an exclamation icon. It states, "A member of our Admin Team will confirm your BADBIR centre soon - this is usually done within one working day." Middle Panel: A transition arrow pointing right. Right Panel: A green-bordered box with the title "Your BADBIR Centre" showing the center as "Training Centre 5" with a checkmark, and an option "This isn't my centre".

  • Step 3: Once you’ve been allocated to your centre, you will be able to log in and upload a signed copy of your CV to the database. We will then check your CV and verify it. Here is a template CV you can download.
  • Please don’t use this section to upload a copy of your GCP certificate. We don’t require a copy of your GCP certificate, but if you would like to have one in the BADBIR site file, please send it via email to badbir@manchester.ac.uk and we will upload it for you.

Left Panel: A red-bordered box titled "CV Upload" with an exclamation icon. It contains the options "Choose file...", "I'm having trouble uploading my CV", and a note, "Please do not upload your GCP certificate here." Middle Panel: A transition arrow pointing right. A yellow box with a message, "Your CV will be verified by the BADBIR Admin Team shortly." along with the options from the left panel. Right Panel: A green-bordered box with the title "CV Upload" indicating that the upload is complete. It includes a checkmark and the same options as the left panel.

  • Step 4: Watch a training video on the database. A short training course is required for all new research team members on BADBIR. The full version should take around 15 minutes to complete, while the shortened version for those not completing data entry will take around 5 minutes.
  • Please remember to click the ‘Mark training as complete’ button when you have finished the video.

Left Panel: A red-bordered box titled "BADBIR Training Video" with a warning icon. It contains instructions stating, "Please note, you only need to watch one of the training videos to complete this step." Below are three options with icons: "Watch the full video (~15 mins)", "Watch the short video (~5 mins)", and "I'm having trouble viewing the video". Middle Panel: A transition arrow pointing right. A blue box with the text "Mark your training as complete. Once you have watched the training video, please click the button below." with two buttons: "Mark training as complete" (checked) and "Close the training video" (crossed). Right Panel: A green-bordered box identical to the red one, indicating the step is complete.

  • Step 5: Wait for us to approve your account. This will add you to the electronic delegation log and trigger an email to your Principal Investigator, informing them that they need to log into the database in order to approve your access.
  • You won’t be able to view your centre’s data until your PI has approved your account.
  • Step 6: You will receive an email when your PI has approved your access. You’ll then be able to log into the BADBIR database and begin working on BADBIR.
