​The day will begin with a panel discussion, followed in the afternoon by 3 workshops running in parallel.

We want everyone to have all the information that they need when they are deciding whether or not to take part in health and social care research.

We're working on new resources that will make sure that people have a clear understanding of how they can expect to be treated in research and the safeguards in place to ensure this is the case.

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.
