RES Committee North West - Greater Manchester West Annual Report Page 3

Chair’s overview of the past year:

During the last year we have lost several members. Dr Adedokun’s term of membership came to an end, Mark Garrod and Patricia Morgan have resigned for health reasons, Jayne Hardicre has had a change of work commitments and Iestyn Shapey is no longer able to commit to REC meetings owing to his surgical training rotation. Ian Beaumont, vice chair, has moved to another REC which meets on a day which is more convenient now that he has retired from his post as pharmacist. All these colleagues have provided invaluable input into the REC discussions and Ian has been a superb Vice-chair. I wish them all well for the future and hope that Iestyn has a successful career as a transplant surgeon. We have been pleased to welcome two new members during 2014/15; Janice Christie and Julie Grindey. The loss of six members and recruitment of only two has meant that the REC is down to ten members and we have therefore been reliant on the goodwill of members of other RECs to ensure that meetings are quorate. We are very grateful to those REC members who have supported Greater Manchester West by attending our meetings. Since March we have moved the REC meetings from Eccles Gateway to Barlow House for an extended trial period. The change of venue is more convenient for some members but may mean longer journeys for others. We will evaluate the change later in the year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members who give of their time to prepare thoroughly for meetings and for the high quality of the ethical debate. The REC has undertaken a large number of proportionate reviews which have, at times, been burdensome for volunteers who have busy lives, but the members have participated without complaint and provided an excellent service to researchers. Particular thanks go to Anna Bannister, REC Manager, and Katie Southeard, REC Assistant, for their administrative support, ensuring that the REC runs efficiently. They are to be commended for the REC achieving all timescales, with only 8% opinions being outside the stretch target of 40 days.
