Doctors and Biomedical Research

This joint work aims to provide an up-to-date account of the legal and regulatory framework of biomedical research.
Doctors are essential players in the organization and implementation of biomedical research projects. The 20 December 1998 Act redefined their precise role and imposed new obligations covering ethical, civil and criminal responsibility and administrative and financial constraints.
In the area of clinical trials, the emphasis is on the relationship between patients and researchers.
This book provides doctors with the information they may need when they take part in biomedical research.
