Research Ethics Committee Lay Members
The National Research Ethics Service is trying to recruit lay members to Research Ethics Committees in the London area.
Lay members are non-health care professionals, perhaps patients, ex-patients or their relatives, who are interested in scrutinising the ethical aspects of research proposals.
Committee members receive training in ethical review and have opportunities to debate challenging issues in the life sciences to help protect the rights and well-being of research participants and promote ethical research.
Positions are voluntary but expenses are paid, including travel and childcare costs if applicable. Committees meet on average for half a day per month and applicants will need to be able to attend at least two thirds of meetings.
Please note there is no deadline for applications – the recruitment process is ongoing.
