Abstract:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Medical innovation is desirable for clinical and economic reasons, but there is no consensus on the best regulatory approach to promote it. The paradigm for the regulation of medical research is a gatekeeping system but in the era of increasingly personalised medicine and rapid technological development, this is perceived by some as an anachronistic barrier to scientific advance, an unjustified bureaucratic cost, and a mechanism that frustrates consumer expectations. Yet, in the absence of the regulatory protection that obtaining permission provides, patients may face unacceptable risks and innovators are exposed to unreasonable risk of civil and criminal liability should mishaps occur. A series of UK court decisions on innovative treatments for young people, including Pentosan Polysulphate treatment for nvCJD (Simms), Proton Beam Therapy (King) nucleoside therapy (Gard), puberty blockers (Tavistock) have exposed the vices that undermine trust in innovation but also help us to identify the virtues that responsible innovators should display. Smart regulation is required to promote those virtues without creating unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles. An unwieldy system of prior ethics committee approval can be avoided if we can use markers of trustworthiness as a basis of the licence to innovate.<\/span><\/p>\n About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Professor Sir Jonathan Montgomery FMedSci, Professor of Health Care Law at University College, London<\/strong><\/p>\n Sir Jonathan Montgomery FMedSci is Professor of Health Care Law at University College, London, Chair of the Ethics Advisory Committee of Genomics England, Chair of Oxford University Hospitals NHSFT and visiting professor in Bioethics Governance at the University of Oxford.<\/span><\/p>\n As Chair of the Health Research Authority (2012-19) he was responsible for the oversight of research ethics approvals in England; working to reduce regulatory complexity and improve research integrity in order to protect the interests of the public, participants and patients.
