Please see the NIR onboarding page, governance page and the functional capabilities to inform your checklist. It would be unrealistic to provide a checklist for each individual trust, given the mathematical combinations of local nuances and scenarios, we advise that the information NIR team supplies is the starting point, and organisations can layer what they need to over the top of this. i.e. we cannot account for any bespoke architectures, workflows, use-cases or testing scenarios unique to an organisation.
