Primary care #oneinamillion
09th February 2017
It has been reported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) that over one million people have actively participated in primary care research studies.
The NIHR reports that Simon Denegri, the NIHR National Director for Patients and the Public in Research, said: “This is fantastic news. The nature of the health challenges facing the UK means that GPs, in partnership with patients and carers, have a crucial role to play in developing treatments of patient benefit. That over one million people have volunteered to participate in clinical studies is a mark of how successful this partnership has become. The NIHR hopes that many more people and their families will be encouraged by this to also come forward and help us do more life-saving work. Research cannot happen without them.”

HRA publishes new proportionate consent guidance
31st January 2017
The Health Research Authority (HRA) reports: 'The HRA is encouraging researchers to take a more proportionate approach to the process of seeking consent for participation in research.
Researchers have an ethical and legal obligation to make sure that people volunteering for research projects have the information they need to help them decide whether they wish to take part or not.
This new guidance complements the existing HRA online guidance for consent and participant information sheets. It further reinforces our view that people who volunteer to take part in research should be provided with succinct, relevant, user-friendly information in a proportionate manner that better promotes genuinely informed consent and facilitates the conduct of ethical research.'
