Human Research Ethics Committees - Standardised Patient Information Sheets (PIS)

Doc type: Guideline

Doc No.: GL2007_016

Functional Group - Sub Group:
Clinical/ Patient Services - Research
Clinical/ Patient Services - Human Tissue

Summary
Three standardised Patient Information Sheets (1) Clinical Trials (excluding genetic testing and collection/storage of human tissue), (2) Trials involving genetic testing and collection of human tissue, and (3) Tissue 'Banking' or storage of tissue samples) provide a 'proforma' for researchers and industry to use when developing patient information sheets to be used with potential research participants. They have been developed in clear, non-technical language in a 'question and answer' format to aid understanding by potential participants for three kinds of activities: participation in clinical trials, participation in trials involving genetic testing and tissue sampling, and where tissue 'banking' or storage is proposed for future unspecified research.
