As of 1 April 2018, our ethics committee has been a fully recognised ethics committee. This allows it to act as a lead ethics committee (LEC) in clinical trials, under the law of 7 May 2004. The authorisation is for a period of four years. On 1 April 2022, the recognition was extended for another term until 30 March 2026.

The ethics committee is involved in the ethical aspects of patient care and scientific research. A clinical trial or experiment should not and cannot start without the approval of a competent body.

Besides its reviewing role in the context of (clinical) studies, the ethics committee also provides advice on ethical aspects in healthcare.
