DDF4b – Introduction to Informed Consent Forms

Description

The concept of informed consent is a key part of Good Clinical Practice and the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki. The vocabulary and style that medical writers normally use, usually tailored for a scientifically educated audience, may not be appropriate for use in informed consent documents. Medical writers who create informed consent documents must adopt a writing style suitable for communicating with the public. On completion of this workshop package, participants should be able to write an informed consent document suitable for use in a clinical trial.

Participant profile: This workshop is aimed at writers who are new to writing informed consent documents.
