Course Overview
Variation in research ethics committees between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Accreditation bodies assess the health and pharmaceutical services discipline on documented evidence of consistent practice. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the health and pharmaceutical services capability hard in practice. Comparative studies of research ethics committees across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Buying a tool rarely fixes this area of health and pharmaceutical services; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants finish able to explain the practice within health and pharmaceutical services to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. This programme builds research ethics committees from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda are used deliberately. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of health and pharmaceutical services that each participant writes for their own organisation.
