LIVE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Privacy in Research: Staying Ahead in a Rapidly Changing Risk Landscape
“I really appreciated that foundational knowledge on privacy regulations in Australia was provided before delving specifically into the policies to be considered when conducting research. The facilitator encouraged us to share specific issues or questions that we had and provided very context specific advice. This really helped tailor the information she was giving, and in my opinion, made the training very relevant to those undertaking the training.” – Morgan Carlton, Clinical Research Coordinator, University of Queensland
“The workshop was very relevant for researchers and HREC members. The flow charts used for determining consent will be well used in my roles.” – Justine Williams, Cardiac Research Coordinator & Quality Nurse, HREC Science Member
