(1888PressRelease) December 13, 2016 - The 2017 agenda will bring together leading industry experts to explore current clinical trials, implementation and paediatric drug development. Key discussion points include: clinical recruitment, ethical issues, regulations, executing a paediatric clinical trial, paediatric drug formulation and determining clinical endpoints.

Ethical issues are a huge factor which needs to be considered when it comes to clinical trials, even more so when children are involved. This November Bermuda Hospitals Board participated in Ethics Awareness Week and discussed various ethical matters.

"We spent the week exploring some of the ethical issues that can become more complicated when we're dealing with minors. Not only are you taking the law, professional best practices and the patient's wishes into account, you're also considering the wishes of the parents or legal guardians and the child's ability to understand and make their own decisions." *(Source)
