National Health Service (NHS) Ethics Committees

NHS Ethics Committees are groups of experts that review medical research and new treatments to ensure they are ethical, safe, and respectful of patients' rights. They evaluate proposals to protect participants from harm, maintain privacy, and ensure that studies are conducted responsibly. These committees help balance the potential benefits of research with ethical obligations, ensuring that advancements in healthcare are achieved without compromising moral standards or patient well-being. Their work is essential for maintaining trust, safety, and integrity in medical progress within the NHS.
