Join your local Research Ethics Committee (REC)

The HRA is looking for people to #StepForward and become a member of our Research Ethics Committees (RECs).

Our REC members are volunteers who meet virtually to review exciting new research studies for some of the biggest challenges in health and social care including cancer, dementia and COVID-19.

It’s important that our committees have insight from different perspectives, so we’re particularly looking for people who have never been involved with research before and those who haven’t had any professional or advisory healthcare experience.

Members are provided with regular training and support and it’s a great opportunity to work with people from a range of backgrounds and to learn new skills.

Find out more on our website or email member recruitment(member.recruitment@hra.nhs.uk).
