Executive Summary of Annual Report for the Business Services Organisation (BSO): Office for Research Ethics Committees Northern Ireland (ORECNI) for the Financial

Year 2018 to 2019

Left to Right: Committee member training day 2019. Dr Alastair Walker (Chair of HSC REC A), Mrs Julie Erskine (Chair of the BSO Board), Dr Anne Moorhead (Vice-Chair of HSC REC B), Dr Hugh Davies (Health Research Authority, Chair of the HRA Oxford A REC); Sue Trouton (Alternate Vice-Chair of HSC REC B), Dr Siobhan McGrath (Head of the ORECNI), Prof Patrick Murphy (Chair of HSC REC B)

Firstly a sincere thank you to all the volunteer Health and Social Care Research Ethics Committee (HSC REC) members from HSC RECs A and B who along with the support from the ORECNI staff and have continued to provide the service on which many research customers rely. I am obliged to all, as are the researchers and research sponsors who rely on the efficiency and predictability of the service, and the participants who are invited to take part in research that has been the subject of a robust review provided by the ORECNI service. The service continues to receive excellent feedback from its customers. I would particularly like to draw attention to the Committee Chairs’ summaries in the body of this report which highlight the spirit of cooperation and team work which enables success for this service.

The average workload per meeting per committee is equivalent or greater than other UK jurisdictions. The service has been delivered within budget and financial savings required.

It was with much pride that I am able to report that both HSC RECs A and B continue to have the most efficient key performance indicators in the UK exceeding the KPI targets on ethical decision timelines in all areas. The ORECNI will continue to work with the other UK ethics partners in England, Scotland and Wales and the Business Services Organisation (BSO) to support its mission statement and corporate objectives as follows:

ORECNI Mission

• to protect the rights, safety, dignity and well-being of research participants; and • to facilitate and promote ethical research that is of potential benefit to participants,

science and society. The RECs considered during the financial year (1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019) 162 new research proposals involving human subjects (their tissue or data), which took place within the HSC and/ or wider NHS or within private clinical research organisations. Each REC is made up from members of the general public as well as social care and healthcare professionals, who provide a voluntary service to protect the rights, dignity and safety of research participants by ensuring that these research projects conform to accepted ethical principles and standards.

The range of research involved included clinical trials of medicinal products or drugs, trials of medical devices or other interventions, as well as research involving vulnerable subjects such as patients /services users with learning difficulties, mental impairment, and ‘looked after’ children. The research involves social care and medical research using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The range of research is diverse and includes sponsorship from the HSC, from charities, commercial companies and universities.

This year in preparation for the implementation of the new EU clinical trials regulation or the alternative BREXIT, the service had been actively involved in a live pilot of Clinical trials using a new combined way of working with the MHRA (UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency). This meant that 2 slots per committee were dedicated to review of one trial in the new way of working. This means that the overall workload for new studies reviewed at full committee is slightly lower than in previous years for this reason. However this was important to do preparedness work with the committees and the staff.

Of the new studies reviewed, 110 had significant material ethical issues (and were reviewed by a full REC) and 52 had less significant ethical issues (and were reviewed by a sub-committee of the full REC known as a Proportionate Review Sub-committee (PRSC)). In addition, the service considered a total of 175 substantial amendments to studies which have received ethical approval. The service also reviewed 74 safety reports, 1 serious adverse event, 236 annual progress reports and 128 final study reports for ongoing studies. The following tables give an overview of workload; timelines and Key performance indicators achieved by the service and shows service performance improvement year on year.

The decision types between HSC REC A and B were consistent and comparable.

The full individual annual reports for the RECs are enclosed.

Yours sincerely

Dr Siobhan McGrath (Head of the ORECNI) Directorate of Customer Care and Performance, BSO Date: 17th September 2019

HSC REC A Annual Report – 01.04.2018 – 31.03.2019

Chair’s overview of the past year: I am delighted to report on another successful year for HSC REC A from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019. The professionalism of the volunteer committee members supported by ORECNI staff has enabled us again to deliver on 100% of the KPIs, exceeding many of the targets in the process. Much of the credit must go to REC A Manager, Tamla Ervine (formerly Meredith), whose high standards of knowledge and skills have provided the Committee with outstanding support. During the year our Chair, Dr Catherine Hack resigned through pressure of work. She was replaced by the Acting Chair, Dr Alastair Walker, ably supported by Vice Chair Dr Mary Murphy and Alternate Vice-Chair Barry Mimnagh. We have also been joined by a number of new recruits who have settled into their role very quickly and are making valuable contributions to the Committee’s deliberations. We are again pleased to have received positive feedback from many of the researchers with whom we have worked and it is good to know that our role is valued as being a positive one in ensuring the highest quality of research in health and social care. During the year, the Committee took part in a pilot of a new procedure for the approval of early phase drug trials. The pilot showed that the new process was helpful to researchers by combining applications for ethical and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approval into a single procedure. This has now been rolled out operationally. The annual training day was held in March 2018 with a high attendance by members. Other training opportunities continue to be made available to ensure that the knowledge and skills required to undertake the ethics reviews are kept up to date.

HSC REC B Annual Report – 01.04.2018 – 31.03.2019

Chair’s overview of the past year: The success of any committee depends on the ability, attitude and values of its members. In REC B we are fortunate to have such a wide range of individuals who have a remarkably high level of competence, both personal and professional, which comes together in a spirit of co-operation and dedication to produce a decision-making process which is effective, ethical and appreciated. But it takes more than ability to make a committee work. The members of REC B have developed an attitude of going the extra mile in seeking to fully appreciate the vast array of scientific, medical and social knowledge, which is necessary to evaluate the ethics and efficacy of all the applications which come before them. For a group of people who work on a voluntary basis, this represents a degree of commitment not normally seen in much of modern society. But although their abilities and attitudes shape that commitment, it is their values which add quality to their decision-making on the ethics of research applications. By being individually and collectively fair and equitable in evaluating often complex information and concepts, they produce reasoned and logical outcomes which protect the interests of patients and wider society. At the same time they do all they can to facilitate and encourage scientific, medical and social research in a manner which allows the efficient and effective processing of applications. None of this would be possible without the help and co-operation of a highly dedicated team of staff in the Office of Research Ethics Northern Ireland. Their courtesy, professionalism and overall support ensure the smooth running of what is often a complex process. Of course, this does not mean that we in REC B can rest on our laurels. In an ever-changing world, we recognise that we must constantly strive to improve the quality of our service, because society's progress depends on new knowledge and understanding, which in turn depend on ethical research. Fortunately REC B has the members to strive for, and achieve, that continuous improvement.
