Abstract
The research will conduct an evaluation of the role of ethics committees in the pandemic. Committees operate at the national level - both as part of Government and in relevant professional organizations - and at the local clinical level. They produce guidance supported by statements of general principles raising questions as to the origin, status, value, relevance and timeliness of guidance and its potential to conflict. The research will evaluate the guidance and offer recommendations as to the best and most appropriate role of the ethics committees interpreting, supporting and implementing that guidance.
