À l’occasion de la Journée mondiale de l’éthique, nous soulignons le rôle de l’Équipe d’éthique au sein de l’Unité de recherche clinique (URC) du Neuro. Ils constituent une ligne de défense supplémentaire, protégeant les droits des personnes qui envisagent de participer à un essai clinique. Une partie importante de leur travail consiste à examiner le formulaire de consentement éclairé et à l’adapter pour répondre aux normes institutionnelles, juridiques et éthiques. L’équipe d’éthique de l’URC veille à ce que le langage juridique et scientifique du formulaire de consentement soit accessible et transparent pour la compréhension des patients. Cela implique de décrire ce que l'étude espère montrer, les interventions que les patients recevront et de souligner les avantages et les risques de la participation. Les patients pourront examiner le formulaire de consentement avec un coordinateur de recherche, des amis et/ou des membres de leur famille avant de décider de participer à une étude. Au cœur du formulaire de consentement se trouve le principe selon lequel la participation est toujours sur une base volontaire et les patients conservent le droit de se retirer de l'étude à tout moment. **On Global Ethics Day, we highlight the role of the Ethics Team within the Clinical Research Unit (CRU). They act as an added line of defense, protecting the rights of individuals who are considering participating in a clinical trial. An important part of the Ethics Team’s work is reviewing the informed consent form and adapting it to meet institutional, legal, and ethical standards. The CRU Ethics Team ensures that the legal and scientific language in the consent form is accessible and transparent for patients’ understanding. This includes outlining what the study hopes to show, what interventions patients will receive and reviewing the benefits and risks of participation. Patients will be able to review the consent form with a research coordinator, friends, and/or family before deciding to take part in a study. At the heart of the consent form is the tenet that participation is always on a voluntary basis, and patients retain the right to withdraw from the study at any time. #globalethicsday #ethicsempowered #clinicalresearch #researcethicsboard #theneuro #mcgill #muhc #cusm #rechercheclinique #ethique The Neuro Centre universitaire de santé McGill - McGill University Health Centre Institut de recherche du Centre universitaire de santé McGill IRCM ...
