Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee
The Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee reviews Level 3 ethics applications for the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Overview
All research with impact has an ethical dimension and all researchers should reflect on the implications of their work, not just in terms of human (and animal) welfare and dignity, but also the social and cultural impact of their research.
Research involving humans and animals will require ethical review, however, other types of research may often have ethical considerations that should be addressed. In order to provide efficient and timely ethical review it has been agreed that all Schools/Units must have a research ethics approval policy in place. Schools/Units may use their own Research Ethics Committee (REC), use another School/Unit's REC or a Faculty REC.
Timeline: Each ethics application submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee by the submission deadline for a committee meeting is reviewed at that month’s committee meeting.
Research involving hospital patients must always be approved by that hospital's research ethics review procedures.
