Compensation for Research-Related Injury in the UK, Australia and New Zealand: A Legal and Ethical Audit

Leading bioethicists, national commissions, and leaders of the medical profession around the world have argued that society owes an ethical obligation to compensate for research-related injury, and that no-fault compensation is the best ethical response. In this lecture Professor Jo Manning will assess existing compensation arrangements in place for research-related injury in publicly-funded and commercially-funded clinical research in the UK, Australia and New Zealand (in particular) against this ethical expectation. She will also consider the adequacy of the information about compensation arrangements in place that supervisory ethics agencies in each jurisdiction recommend that potential subjects be given for informed consent purposes, as well as potential alternative options to remedy identified legal and ethical deficiencies.
