When conducting research with human participants, it is essential that participants are fully informed as to the details of the study and what is expected of them by participating.
Participants’ informed consent is imperative, and should be in place prior to any data collection activities.
Sarah Bell (Research Governance Advisor) and Suzy Wignall (Clinical Governance Advisor) will be running sessions on informed consent procedure, scheduled for Tuesday 26th March. These sessions are open to staff and postgraduate researchers conducting research/hoping to conduct research with human participants.
We will be running two sessions on this day –
Talbot Campus (P425, Poole House) – 09:30am – 11:00am
Lansdowne Campus (B242, Bournemouth House) – 2:00pm – 3:30pm
If you are interested in attending one of the above sessions, please email Research Ethics.
