Summary
Facilities for non-patient volunteer studies
Both the ABPI and the Royal College of Physicians have recently issued guidelines for the Conduct of Non-Patient Volunteer Studies. The ABPI proposals include a recommendation that a register of the units conducting these studies should be established. The ABPI Non-Patient Volunteers Working Party considered that registration would only be meaningful if criteria were established to ensure that the facilities provided by the units conducting Non-Patient Volunteer Studies were appropriate for the safe conduct of these studies. The document that follows sets out guidelines on standards which should be set for such facilities.
Guidelines on standards for the facilities in which studies on non-patient volunteers are conducted
The following proposals are intended to be read in conjunction with the ABPI Guidelines for the conduct of Non-Patient Volunteer Studies and area standard towards which the ABPI would expect a volunteer facility to aim prior to the initiation of a full range of clinical pharmacology studies.
Facilities
1.1 The building should be purpose built or appropriately modified and must meet local planning requirements and safety (fire) requirements.
1.2 The unit should be large enough to allow the separation of ward, laboratory, administration, catering and toilet facilities.
1.3 The unit must be easily accessible to emergency services and construction of doorways and corridors should allow the easy movement of a stretcher patient.
1.4 If not attached to a hospital, the unit should have easy road access for an ambulance.
1.5 The unit should he situated in reasonable proximity to a hospital with a casualty unit and intensive care facilities.
