Chairman: Prof Colin Bradley

The Research Ethics Committee has adopted the following two basic statements as a guide:
- 'Any study proposed which cannot answer the question posed is unethical.'
- 'All research on human beings carries the possibility of harm. The level of risk, which is acceptable, depends upon the importance of the question being addressed.'
The Ethics Committee is constituted according to the International Conference on Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) guidelines & the Clinical Trials Act 1987 (amended 1990). This Ethics Committee operates to the standards laid down in the ICH GCP guidelines published 1997 and implemented January 1998.

Application for Non-Clinical Trials
The ICGP is participating in a pilot trial in 2010 (February-April) of a common ethics application form. The motivation behind this form is to simplify the process for researchers who need to apply to more than one committee. There are seven committees across the country participating in the pilot with another six likely to commence using the form after the pilot in the latter half of 2010. » read more
