Full description:

Clinical trials aim to find out more about an illness, condition, treatment, therapy or care. The type of clinical trials we are discussing in this work involve medicines routinely used in the NHS which have therefore undergone all necessary safety evaluations required for use in the UK.
We are developing principles on simplified arrangements for consent to support these important clinical trials on existing medicines, while maintaining public trust.

Opportunity Deadline

15th September 2025

Payment:

In line with our payments policy we can offer: £75 for attending advisory group meetings, including related preparation and follow up. £25 for attending short pre-advisory group meetings. £25 for short tasks between meetings e.g. reading and commenting on a version of the principles. An additional £50 per meeting for the co-facilitator, to include briefing and debriefing. https://www.hra.nhs.uk/about-us/governance/publication-scheme/our-policies-and-procedures/policy-payments-arising-involvement-public-work-hra/
