Hi Dirt Girl

We received approval from the Research Ethics Committee of the Health Sciences Faculty (University of Cape Town) on the 26 September 2008. The Reference number if you would like to check is REC REF: 386/2008.

Are you by any chance involved in scientific research? I followed your responses to Eduardo's request. You seem to be someone involved in research to.

Kind regards

Ben

FYI - All universities have an ethics committee that approves research prior to the commencement of any studies. UCT requires that all studies conform to the declaration of helsinki as well as concerns raised by the very large ethics panel.

 

You can therefore stop harrassing the various researchers.

 

Is it just me or do you generally just look to stir?

I never stir! Unfortunateley I have had experience with some that have not. Besides..it's not always just Ethics approval they need to obtain..should I mention some regulatory authorities..

 

Also, I'd like to know by which version of the decleration of Helsinki you are working to? The new 2008 version? Do you have data protection regulations in place? What happens should you  discover something significant during the research? are all staff trained sufficiently and is this documented? Do you have emergency procedures in place?

 

 

By all means, you don't have to answer them.

I wonder how many times the "ethics" orientated cyclists have skipped a red light or stop street.

The training done at the SSI is great. It will improve your cycling, mental capacity to ride harder and also your motivation to stay on the bike.

Pity you have not done the training.
