Chair’s overview of the past year:

I think it is fair to say that it has been another successful year for HSC REC B. The reason for that success is obvious - it is down to the professionalism, dedication and team-work of all those involved, both REC members and managerial support.

REC B members have a shared sense of duty, a wonderful level of inter-personal empathy, solidarity and communication and they always face even the most challenging situations with a remarkable degree of good humour and determination. It is a privilege to work with them.

We are ably supported by the entire OREC office staff, who serve the cause of ethical research with an understated level of professionalism, expertise and insight, which makes the work of REC B so much easier.

In many ways it was also a demanding year. The volume of work requires the Committee to process six applications every month at its main meeting, which requires precise time management and the ongoing co-operation and support of all those involved in the decision-making process.

Dealing with PR applications and sub-committee work places extra demands on REC B members, but they have always responded to requests for their commitment with enthusiasm and a willingness not always associated with modern society. It may be time for their efforts to be publicly acknowledged beyond the comments in this overview.

In terms of the nature of the applications we receive, it is clear that there are a greater number of Phase 1 trials at the expense of public sector research. Seeking funding for research is obviously becoming more difficult and the problem may significantly increase following Brexit. There are many challenges ahead for health and social services research.

REC B's achievements in terms of performance show that we have performed effectively and efficiently in the past year. We will continue to strive for ethical excellence and in seeking to do so we have one remarkable strength - the ability of all those people who sit on, or support, the committee. In view of the challenges ahead, we will need to nurture that strength.
