Patient perspectives on the regulation and governance of medical research

December 2010. AMRC and INVOLVE report on the conclusions of a workshop on patient perspectives.

In March 2010 the Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) was asked by the Department of Health to conduct an independent review of the regulation and governance of medical research.

In the course of its inquiry the panel invited the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and INVOLVE to hold a workshop which would provide an insight into patient perspectives on the conduct of research and associated regulatory issues. It was agreed that the conclusions of the workshop would be fed into the review and that AMRC and INVOLVE would separately produce an independent report of the event. The workshop was held on Tuesday 2 November 2010.
