I haven't got time to apply for ethics! Making the ethics process work for you: Invited workshop at the Centre for Health Sciences Annual Conference, 7th Nov 2023, Engineers House, Bristol, UK

'The ethics process is too long', 'I don't have time to get ethics', 'I wish I'd got ethics for this!' Ever had one of these thoughts? Ethics is a hugely valuable and important part of the research integrity process and becoming essential as a gateway to publishing in health sciences education. Yet, all too often innovations occur without considering from the start how the evaluation process will work and what outputs might be required and useful to share.
This workshop will encourage people to rethink how they see the ethics process,
encouraging a scholarly approach to practice and showing how the ethics process can not only help your process, but can improve your research and even speed up your route to publication.
Participants will be encouraged to come to the workshop with an education research project in mind to use for the tasks. Participants will be supported to consider the different steps of the ethics process, the types of documentation required for submission, how research interweaves with teaching and a forward thinking approach to the outputs of research projects.
