Practical Research Ethics

This workshop is part of the Faculty of Health and Medicine Postgraduate Training Programme offering a range of lively, interactive workshops to provide opportunities for research skills training. The short interactive skills based session is delivered by FHM staff with experience as members of the FHM Research Ethics Committee. The session will complement the Researcher Development Framework (Vitae, 2010).

The workshop, based on a well-established existing postgraduate research ethics module, will enable students to develop their 'ethical mindset' when designing fieldwork including understanding concepts of research ethics governance, identifying key ethical issues relevant to their specific research area and considering effective ways to address ethics at each stage of the research. All participants will have instruction in where to locate and how to complete the full ethics application relevant to their research.
