The
Research Ethics Committee works
on behalf of research participants to ensure that they are not subjected
to unacceptable risks or practices during the course of their participation
in research studies.
All
research projects involving human participants at any of the hospitals
of the Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust must be approved by a Research Ethics
Committee. Currently, research studies undertaken at either Hammersmith,
Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea or Acton Hospitals are considered by the
Hammersmith, Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea and Acton Hospitals Research
Ethics Committee. Research that is undertaken at Charing Cross Hospital
is reviewed by the
Riverside
Research Ethics Committee.
Application
procedure:
NB: All new applications to the committee should now be made using the new national application form which can be downloaded from: www.corec.org.uk or completed online at www.corecform.org.uk
NB: The Committee will no longer accept applications that have not secured adequate funding, either from an external funding body or from local resources, as a large number of studies seens by LRECs do not go on to secure funding.< Guidelines:
