These groups – Research Ethics Committees (RECs) – made up of doctors, nurses, researchers, and members of the general public – help shape the future of medicine, and play a crucial role in the regulation of a wide range of research from social science to epidemiology, vaccine and drugs trials to surgery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on extensive observations, interviews, and archival research, this book provides an in-depth insight into RECs, one of the most crucial forms of regulation around medical research. In providing one of the first empirical examinations of this kind of regulation, this book challenges the impersonal, de-socialised, and mechanical models of REC decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction – On the margins of a trusting system\u003cbr\u003e1 Paper promises or written applications as trust warrants\u003cbr\u003e2 Trust, local knowledge, and distributed centralisation\u003cbr\u003e3 Facework, interaction, and the performance of trustworthiness\u003cbr\u003e4 Reviewing science, trusting the reviewers\u003cbr\u003eConclusion – Regulatory giraffes?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041033781591,"sku":"9781526167057","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526167057.jpg?v=1750948685","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/trust-in-the-system-research-ethics-committees-and-the-regulation-of-biomedical-research-9781526167057","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
