ACCORD (Addressing consent-based challenges to improve inclusivity in research) project

Are you involved in conducting, reviewing or supporting research that includes (or is relevant to) adults with impaired capacity to consent in the UK?

Researchers at Cardiff University are conducting a Wellcome-funded project, ACCORD, to explore how the ethical and legal frameworks governing research involving adults lacking capacity to consent are being implemented in practice, and to address the challenges that can be encountered.

We would like to talk to researchers, health and social care practitioners, and members of research governance organisations (e.g REC member or sponsor representative) with experience of these issues.

We will then use the findings to develop interventions to address the barriers across individual, organisational and systems levels. We will be conducting online interviews and focus groups. Interviews may take up to 1 hour, and focus groups may take approx. 1.5 to 2 hours, and they will be arranged for convenient dates and times.

If you would like more information or have any questions, please contact ACCORD@cardiff.ac.uk
