FULLY ASSURED: Getting privacy and assurance right in clinical trials
For clinical research and healthcare organisations, assurance is now a business-critical issue. Sponsors, CROs and trial partners are increasingly expected to evidence how privacy, security, and compliance are governed. This includes data protection under the EU and UK GDPR, US healthcare HIPAA requirements, and independent assurance through security controls such as SOC reports, and frameworks like HITRUST. This unmissable session brings together privacy and assurance specialists who will cut through the complexity and focus on what matters most for clinical research today.
DOUBLE BLIND: Secondary use of health data and AI in clinical trials
The secondary use of health data is becoming one of the biggest drivers of innovation across clinical research. But as AI technology advances and EU and UK regulations evolve, CROs and sponsors need to think ahead about how trial data might be used, or reused, in the future. Join session moderator Ben Seretny, COO at The DPO Centre, alongside Lawrence Carter, DPO and Life Sciences Sector Lead, Pippa Scotcher, DPO, and Michael McCagh, DPO, for a forward-looking discussion on how AI and diverging governance frameworks are likely to impact the future of secondary data use and informed consent in clinical trials.
