Background: Contributing to clinical research is generally personally and professionally rewarding for urologists. The regulatory environment can seem daunting and this paper guides a new consultant through the initial steps to plan and commence a project. Objectives: The objective of this study was to guide a new consultant in planning and implementing a clinical research project by providing a detailed review on how to start and conduct a clinical project. Methods: Research committees and bodies that offer funding and help were researched thoroughly and an intensive guideline was written to help new trainees and consultants to begin and implement clinical research. Conclusions: The necessary information required to conduct and implement a clinical research project for a new consultant.

Background This 2-year study explored the experiences of clinical physical therapists who used a participatory action research (PAR) approach to learn about the practice of clinical research. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of physical therapists who were conducting clinical research, facilitated by a PAR approach. Design A mixed-methods research design was used. Methods Physical therapists completed questionnaires, were interviewed, and participated in focus groups prior to and after the 1-year intervention and 1 year later. The research facilitator took field notes. Questionnaire data were analyzed descriptively, and themes were developed from the qualitative data. Twenty-five therapists took part in 4 self-selected groups. Results Three groups actively participated in the PAR research projects (n=14). The remaining 11 therapists decided not to be involved in clinical research projects but took part in the study as participants. After 1 year, one group completed the data collection phase of their research project, and a second group completed their ethics application. The third group ceased their research project but hosted a journal club session. At completion of the study, the experiences of the physical therapists were positive, and their confidence in conducting research and orientation toward research had increased. The perceptions of physical therapists toward research, relationships among individuals, and how the clinical projects were structured influenced the success of the projects. Limitations Only physical therapists of one hospital and no other health care practitioners were included in this study. Conclusions Fourteen physical therapists divided among 3 PAR groups were overall positive about their experiences when they conducted a research project together. This finding shows that a PAR approach can be used as a novel tool to stimulate research participation in clinics.

The ProblemOver the last two decades increasing attention has been paid to the rights and safety of the subjects of clinical research. A key safeguard against any abuse has been the requirement to obtain the subject's informed, valid or true consent, which has been defined by the Medical Research Council as ‘consent freely given with proper understanding of the nature and consequences of what is proposed’ (M.R.C., 1962–3). However, it has been recognized by the M.R.C. that it may not be possible to obtain such consent from, among others, some subjects who are mentally ill. Whether or not a research project should be carried out on such subjects should depend, they say, on whether or not ‘there are reasonable grounds for believing that a particular new procedure will contribute to the benefit of that particular patient…’, and further, ‘when true consent cannot be obtained, procedures which are of no direct benefit and which might carry a risk of harm to the subject should not be undertaken’ (M.R.C., 1962–3).

This paper describes a clinical research project2 beginning its third year of operation at the Fort Logan Crisis Unit which is designed to test the hypothesis that primary preventive intervention around the specific crisis of sudden and accidental death can actually decrease the risk of psychiatric illness, medical illness, and social disturbance experienced by families exposed to the crisis.
