Meeting UK IRB/EC Expectations for Patient review of Research Participant Information

From December 1st 2023, applications to conduct clinical research in the United Kingdom must meet the Health Research Authority’s (HRA) Quality Standards and Design and Review Principles to receive a favorable opinion. Research Ethics Committees (RECs) will check whether the standards have been achieved, including implementation of a sufficient patient review process to ensure that participant information is relevant and understandable for the intended audience.

This webinar reviews key elements of these expectations and provides logistical and practical considerations for meeting them. Speakers include experts in patient engagement and involvement of patient communities in the development of clinical trial related documentation and participant communications, as well as perspectives from stakeholders who have experience in the roles that must fulfil the new requirement.
