Forum 2017

Forum "Clinical Research"

A more patient- and research-friendly future thanks to dynamic consent and e-consent?

Close to 90 participants attended the 7th Forum "Clinical Research" in Bern on 25 January 2017. Once more, the SCTO successfully launched an important discussion: this year on the topic A more patient- and research-friendly future thanks to dynamic consent and e-consent?.

How do other countries deal with this issue? Could the examples from abroad be a model for Switzerland? Leading experts, including patients and patient representatives, addressed these questions in short presentations. The different stakeholders then discussed solutions approaches for Switzerland.

The programme and the presentations are available further below.

The Forum "Clinical Research" 2018 will take place on Wednesday, 31 January 2018.
