Process changes at Bellberry
It is now several months since Bellberry updated its procedures and we are pleased to report that there has been a significant drop in start-up times for additional sites.
The table beneath is a comparator of Jan/Mar 2020 to 2021. These months have been chosen as Jan/Mar may pre-date any COVID related issues sites may have, and in December 2020, the grace period ceased.
| Approval-Month | Count of Applications | Average of Bellberry Days |
| Jan-20 | 32 | 34 |
| Jan-21 | 39 | 13.05 |
| Feb-20 | 55 | 27.72 |
| Feb-21 | 54 | 10.38 |
| Mar-20 | 60 | 20 |
| Mar-21 | 72 | 10.45 |
Amendments are tracking at the same turnaround time in Bellberry days (3.8 days). The updated model’s difference is we now ensure all sites are listed on the one approval letter, as appropriate.
We appreciate the teething issues as sites, sponsors, and our administration tackle the changes together. If you have any questions or you would like to schedule a call with the quality team to discuss the practicality of the changes at your site, please email alisonbarr@bellberry.com.au.
