Ahead of next week’s Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) much anticipated report on medical research regulation I see  The Times and Sunday Times (both paywall) have published pieces this weekend by scientist Professor Colin Blakemore and journalist Brian Deer respectively, offering different perspectives on the issue of regulation.

If you are looking for further background on this issue, a reminder that you can read more about patient views on research regulation in the independent report published by AMRC/INVOLVE on 20th December 2010.  And AMRC’s two written submissions to the Academy’s review can be found on our website.

The Academy’s pages on the review are available here.
