Fri, 30 Jul 2021
The search is on for volunteer recruits to the Isle of Man Research Ethics Committee - the body which provides oversight to health and social care research projects carried out in the Island. The Committee is tasked with reviewing the ethical dimension of research proposals which involve human participants, tissue or data. The Committee currently has vacancies for an expert member and a lay member, and applications are invited from those with prior experience of working in health and social care or in research, as well as those with no previous involvement in these areas.
