EFGCP-AREC Workshop on Research Ethics Committee Complex Cases

The Older Participant

15 January 2009 - Basel, Switzerland

This is a joint event arranged by the EFGCP Geriatric Medicines Working Party and the UK Association of Research Ethics Committees, recognising that sponsors may sometimes find the workings and opinions of research ethics committees very difficult to accept, whilst the members of such committees themselves may well find applications and responses from sponsors and investigators equally difficult to manage.

This workshop will give an opportunity for these difficulties to be freely discussed by representatives of RECs, sponsors and investigators, focusing on the Older Participant and will hopefully lead to some conclusions as to how best these difficulties should be addressed or even avoided.
