Consent Methods in Paediatric Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care Trials . (360G-Wellcome-095874_Z_11_Z)

£168,881

This project will engage with key normative questions to investigate how consent is and ought to be conducted in paediatric emergency care (EC) trials, providing empirical evidence, informed by bioethical literature to produce normative guidelines to optimise trial recruitment. The empirical component will use a mixed method design involving children and young people (aged 7-16 years), families, practitioners and members of the research community. Goals will be to: map the nature of consent methods in UK EC paediatric trials; explore experiences and attitudes to different consent methods; and explore the concept of informed consent in EC trials. The ethical review component will explore key normative questions, and reflect upon the value of social and public health perspectives on bioethics, particularly conceptions of solidarity (research for the common good), within an area that has so far been dominated by individual rights-based approaches. The reflective equilibrium method (RE ) will be used to integrate empirical evidence and ethical literature, generating new knowledge in the field of biomedical ethics and leading to the formulation of guidance for the design and conduct of consent in paediatric EC trials for the research community. Outputs will be disseminated through academic, public and clinical healthcare routes.
