Course details

More about this course
  • It is your responsibility to protect research participants. Those who have impaired decision-making capacity are incapable of giving informed consent. They may not be able to protect their own interests and merit special consideration by researchers and research ethics committees.
  • In this course, you will learn the principles of informed consent, decision-making capacity, and ethical conduct of research on adults with impaired decision-making capacity. The researcher and research ethics committee need to protect this vulnerable group.
  • Informed consent means that potential research participants are given information about the key facts of a project before deciding whether or not to take part. This course will empower you with effective processes for gaining informed consent. This course will also give you a framework to understand at what points consent should be renewed, and how to manage those situations.
  • Discover the best practice approaches and oversight to safeguard research participants. People with impaired decision-making capacity should be protected and supported in appropriate ways. We will walk you through effective safeguarding measures and how to implement these through your Institutional Review Board and/or Medical Research Ethics Committee.
