Social and Ethical Issues
The TREAT-NMD Ethics Board (TEB) identifies and examines ethical and social aspects of research taking place in the context of TREAT-NMD.
Mission Statement
The TEB is a voluntary multidisciplinary group comprised of clinicians, scientists, parents, ethicists and legal academics, patients and representatives of parent organisations. The TEB works in a collegiate, collaborative and inclusive manner to provide ethical guidance and balanced opinion in order to enhance the excellence TREAT-NMD aspires to.
Membership
Membership of the TEB is voluntary and drawn from the initial TREAT-NMD partner network, interest groups and invited external members. Members with special expertise, patient representatives, and other relevant groups may be co-opted as necessary.
