Course overview
The NIH policy released 16 September 2016 requires training on the protections for human research participants in addition to GCP training.
The NDoH Ethics Guideline (2024) also stipulates that health research ethics training is additional to discipline- or profession-specific and GCP training for anyone who wants to undertake research with human participants, before conducting research, to ensure they have the appropriate knowledge, skills, expertise, competence, including discipline-appropriate scientific background and research ethics training to conduct studies involving human participants.
Our immersive Ethics in Health Research course is acknowledged by all South African Research Ethics Committees (RECs), and will teach you all you need to know about the ethical conduct of health research in humans.
The course covers USA, EU and RSA regulations (South African Ethics in Health Research Guidelines: Principles, Processes and Structures, NDoH 2024, 3rd Edition), ethics guidelines, research methodologies, expectations for Research Ethics Committees (RECs), descriptions of the research ethics regulatory framework in South Africa, USA and EU, including key principles, standards and norms.
We also cover the ethical considerations, role, responsibilities and reporting requirements from ethics committees when conducting health research.
The next workshop dates can be found here.
On completion of both Part 1 and Part 2 you will be NDoH (2024) compliant, ready to start your career with confidence!
