Detailed Description

Research subjects often felt obliged to participate, with little or no hope of personal benefit. In this module, we will look at how attitudes, conditions, standards and safeguards have developed and changed over the last hundred years, including the emergence of substantial human rights protections, and protocols for protecting 'vulnerable' patient-subjects.  

Today, modern medical research is guided by a literal profusion of codes of practice, professional association and research committee guidelines, international protocols and national legislation. Research purposes,  effectiveness and methods now have to be stringently justified, subject to broad principles and high standards of good clinical practice.

This module is taken online on a self-access basis.
