  6. Please may you provide me with: - Policy(s) relating to absence from work for an employee participating in Medical Research for healthy Volunteers or Patients that are receiving treatment as part of a Clinical Trial. Clinical trials are research studies performed in people that are aimed at evaluating a medical, surgical, or behavioural intervention. They are the primary way that researchers find out if a new treatment, like a new drug or diet or medical device (for example, a pacemaker) is safe and effective in people. Often a clinical trial is used to learn if a new treatment is more effective and/or has less harmful side effects than the standard treatment.

    Is a policy(s) relating to Clinical Trial Appointments available within your organisation? ☐ Yes - (I would like this information to be provided to me as [paper or electronic copies, or alternatively provision of appropriate web-links - if this information is already available to the public..] ☐ No
