WORKSHOP 2 - Upskilling for New Committee Members

Thursday, 10 November 2022

11:30am - 3:00pm (AEDT)

This session will build on the fundamentals of the National Statement, to provide practical skills and strategies for effective ethics review. The interactive workshop format will allow participants with practical case studies, discuss their reflections and learn from their peers. The key aim of the workshop will be to build skills in identifying which aspects of an ethics application need comment, and how to frame comments to be useful to the committee and researchers. One particular focus will be evaluating risk and risk management strategies.

This workshop is aimed at people who are first-time members of a human research ethics committee, who have joined their committee within the last 18 months approx.

Organising Committee: Professor Lynn Gillam, Clarissa Martin & Suzanna Kovacevic
