The NHS Ethics Process: A Guide from the Inside
In this talk Dr Scott Cole will give a personal account of his time on two sides of the NHS Ethics process.

By given this dual account of the process; first as a researcher and navigator through the often-opaque system of applying for a 'favourable opinion' and secondly, as an expert member of the committee, whose duty it is to understand, review and decide on the ethical issues of each study.

Dr Scott Cole will look at:

  • Giving insights into a changing and challenging system
  • Provide tips of how to navigate the system
  • Provide a general overview of the whole process from start to finish.

Dr Scott Cole is an Associate Professor of Psychology at York St John's University.

With expertise in Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology, Scott completed his BSc in Psychology at the University of Liverpool in 2003. After some time teaching in China, he completed a Masters in Memory and its Disorders from the University of Leeds whilst working as a Rehabilitation Support Worker for the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust.

After a one year period working as an Assistant Psychologist for the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust in Sussex, Scott returned to Leeds to complete a PhD in ‘Cognitive and mnemonic characteristics of Episodic Future Thinking’.  Scott also spent a year as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working at the Centre on Autobiographical Memory in Aarhus, Denmark.
