Before agreeing to participate in your study, your participants should receive all the information they require in order to make an informed decision. Once they wish to participate, then an informed consent form should be completed and filed appropriately.
Although the process sounds complex, there is currently a great training opportunity to help familiarise yourself with the background to, and process of informed consent in clinical research.
The Wessex Clinical Research Network are hosting a training session at Poole Hospital on Wednesday 31st, 08:30am – 12:30pm.
If you’re interested in attending, get in touch with the Wessex CRN to book your place. Hurry as there are only 6 seats left!
