This masterclass is part of a series of events by the QNI’s Community Nursing Research Forum.

At the masterclass, speakers Vicky Thornton and Helen Marshall will introduce the importance of ethics in healthcare and research and why ethical approval is required. We will also discuss the information which is required when applying to undertake research. We will explore the duty of care to research participants whilst managing and mitigating risk. We will also consider the type of ethical approval needed such as NHS ethics and/or Higher Education level.
