Louise Jaensch, Clinical Trial Coordinator, SA Health
I’ve attended quite a few PRAXIS workshops now. The content across the workshops I’ve attended has always been presented in clear and accessible ways, and I always come away with a sense of how I can utilise that information in my role.
Alison Harwood, Research Ethics Officer, The University of Adelaide
The whole [HREC] course was extremely valuable and provided a lot of useful information and perspectives that certainly helped to broaden my understanding of the role of HRECs.
