This workshop has been designed to enable you to embed the core principles of valid informed consent into your daily practice. It will also provide a foundation upon which to build competence in the valid informed consent process in your own research setting. The course covers the ethical and legislative frameworks that underpin the research consent process, along with the principles and responsibilities of consent in clinical research, best practice and insight into the added protection required for vulnerable groups.
The expectation is that participants will have already completed a GCP course.
Workshops will take the form of a combination of presentations, discussions and group activities (based on standard materials) designed to bring the principles of valid informed consent into the workplace.
