The Health Research Authority is looking for statisticians to join their Research Ethics Committees (REC) that review clinical trials of an investigational medicinal product (ie a new drug or a drug being used outside of its current license). They would like to attract applications from statisticians who are currently involved in clinical research.
For more information on how to apply for an expert member role, please visit www.hra.nhs.uk/join-a-REC
At the moment, REC meetings are being held via Zoom to help adhere to social distancing policy. A REC member has just written an article about being a REC member and reviewing COVID-19 applications.
