The Medical Schools Council welcomes this consultation as an opportunity to contribute to the Academy of Medical Sciences’ review of the regulation and governance of medical research, and fully supports attempts to improve research governance and reduce bureaucracy. Whilst the NHS provides an optimal framework for clinical research, which should provide the UK with a strong competitive advantage, this is eroded by the burden of regulation from a multiplicity of regulatory organisations.
