NEAC invites those interested in health research to in-person consultation meetings to support the public consultation of the National Ethics Advisory Committee’s National Ethics Standards for Health and Disability Research. NEAC wants to work directly with researchers, research organisations, the public and other government agencies to ensure that feedback is consistently understood and considered.　

This in turn will lead to a greater chance of a successful implementation of the Standards.

Public consultation on the National Ethics Advisory Committee's National Ethics Standards for Health and Disability Research will be held on Wednesday 5 September at the Upstairs Lounge, Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts - Te Whare Tapere.

Information about the venue can be found at http://www.waikato.ac.nz/academy/location
