The Central Visayas Consortium for Health Research and Development (CVCHRD) through the Committee on Ethics Review organized the training-workshop for the members of the consortium to build capacity on ethics review. The resource person, Dr. Ricardo Manalastas, Jr. of UP-Philippine General Hospital, was sent by the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB) to give lectures and facilitated the workshops of the two-day training.
A total of 24 participants from the member institutions of CVCHRD,including the six members of the Ethics Review Committee,attended the two-day training which was held at the Department of Science and Technology 7 compound, National Government Center, Lahug, Cebu City. Lecture topics ranged widely from Introduction to Ethics in Research, to Scientific and Ethical Soundness, The Person as an End and the Principles of Beneficence and Non-Maleficence, Respect for Person, Securing Free and Informed Consent from Human Participants, to Controls in Ensuring Ethical Research,Ethics in Publications and Authorship, among others.Aside from these lectures, the participants were also made to study a sample proposal to see if there are terminologies in its protocol that need simplification for the benefit of the research participants. The current (2011)National Ethical Guidelines on Health Research was also reviewed to identify portions that need modification/clarification and to suggest ethical issues that were missed out but are thought to be relevant for the improvement of the guidelines. In the practical sessions, the participants were grouped into four who were made to conduct ethics review on some Caselets and to present these in plenary. A Role Playing exercise on how to handle a meeting by an Ethics Review Committee was also conducted where the participants were made to identify flaws in the conduct of the meeting and apply their knowledge gained from the lectures. The open discussion during both lectures and workshop sessions were enriching enough that most participants stayed on until the last part of the program and looking forward to the next seminar on this topic.
