Abstract: | Following legislative changes in 2004 and the establishment of the Human Tissue Authority, access to human tissues for biomedical
research became a more onerous and tightly regulated process. Ethical Tissue was established to meet the growing demand for
human tissues, using a process that provided ease of access by researchers whilst maintaining the highest ethical and regulatory
standards. The establishment of a licensed research tissue bank entailed several key criteria covering ethical, legal, financial
and logistical issues being met. A wide range of stakeholders, including the HTA, University of Bradford, flagged LREC, hospital
trusts and clinical groups were also integral to the process. |
