Ethics Review Procedure
All members of staff within the Dental School, and supervised students who are registered with the university and who plan to undertake research which involves human participants, their data or tissue should ensure that their proposed research is ethically approved via the appropriate ethics review procedure prior to commencing such research.
Projects involving patients or staff of the Sheffield Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Projects that involve patients or staff of the Sheffield Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust should obtain NHS ethical approval via a recognised Research Ethics Committee (REC).
There are two recognised RECs in Sheffield- North (based at the Northern General Hospital site) and South (based at the central site). Contact details for all RECs can be found on the COREC website. (the following link will open in a new window)

Projects involving Sheffield Teaching Hospital patients, staff, data or tissue must also receive Research Governance authorisation (also known as management approval) from the Research Department prior to commencement of the research.

Staff and current students
For projects that fall outside the remit of Trust procedures, the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) has kindly agreed to administer ethics review for staff within the Dental School, and members of the school who judge that research they plan requires ethics review. Further information about the ethics procedure can be found on the ScHARR webpages.
