UKRIO Research Integrity Webinar: Clinical Trials Wednesday 14th October 2020
2pm – 4pm
Join the next webinar in the increasingly popular online event series from the UK Research Integrity Office on research integrity and related issues. The focus of this webinar is Clinical Trials.
In 2019, the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee asked more than forty UK universities to ensure they were complying with clinical trials transparency requirements. UKRIO agrees with the Committee that ‘selective non-publication of the results of research distorts the published evidence base and is a threat to research integrity.’
UKRIO has promoted and supported transparency in research through our practical advisory service, our education and training, and the other services we provide to the research community. A key standard in our Code of Practice for Research is that ‘researchers have a duty to publish the findings of all clinical research involving human participants.’
In this webinar, the speakers will address the complex issues surrounding transparent and timely reporting of results from clinical trials.
Speakers include:
Patricia Burns, Senior Clinical Research Governance Manager, University of Dundee and NHS Tayside
Dr Birgit Whitman, Head of Research Governance & Integrity, University of Birmingham
Marc Taylor, Vice-Chair, UK Research Integrity Office
James Parry, Chief Executive, UK Research Integrity Office
