| Summary | Ethics and Regulatory Processes in Translating Innovation from Bench to Man is a course which blends formal lectures, mentorship and a problem-based learning exercise.
The course will comprise 6 hours of lectures and an exercise with 2 assessed components (a peer assessed wiki and a presentation) to answer a clinically-relevant translational challenge.
The lecture series will cover the principles of GCP/GMP, Regulatory submissions, Trial design, Ethical Board applications and general challenges in introducing technologies in to patients.
The course is split into three phases:
Phase 1 - all students will be asked to complete an online training course in Good Clinical Practice.
Phase 2 is an intensive one-day workshop mixing formal lectures by external experts with Q&A sessions and group discussions.
Lectures will be delivered by expert speakers from regulatory consultancies, clinicians, quality assurance and the pharmaceutical industry.
Phase 3 is a 6 week problem-based exercise where students in small groups are tasked with the generation of a WIKI page detailing the context and suggested approach for an ethical/regulatory issue in technology development. Each group will be assigned a staff mentor. Students will see their mentors weekly for a maximum of one hour. The students will present their wiki to their peers and mentors to assess their approaches to the regulatory challenge. The assessment will generate new ideas and provide feedback to the students to refine and improve their strategy before they make their final presentation. The final presentation will be judged by the students' mentors and the expert lecturers. After the presentations the students will receive further feedback from the external lecturers. |
