On behalf of the CONSULT training team
The CONSULT e-learning course on trials involving adults with impaired capacity to consent was developed in collaboration with a group of researchers with topic expertise and a lay advisory group with lived experience. It was developed over four phases:
- establishing researchers’ training needs using an online survey;
- developing the e-learning content including illustrative case studies, videos, and links to resources and further reading;
- iterative piloting and refining of the content;
- dissemination of the e-learning and initial evaluation.
You can read more about the methods used to develop the training here. CONSULT e-learning consists of four key modules covering the legal and ethical frameworks, consent and consultation processes, and methodological considerations, with the key role of public involvement threaded throughout. It is free to access, and the modules can be returned to at any point. There is a certificate to download upon completion and an evaluation survey to provide feedback to help us refine the training.
