Publications
ECRI Institute produces over 30 different publications and journals, a number of which are printed 'in house'. Some are regular publications or newsletters; others are occasional publications such as the Health Devices Special Reports or the Sharps Safety and Needlestick Prevention Guide. Health Devices Alerts which are printed at the end of each week are distributed all over the world. The Health Devices Journal and the Healthcare Product Comparison System (HPCS) build into an annual collection, stored in custom designed binders. In line with modern practises, many of these publications are available on-line, making the search for topics of interest a little easier and quicker to find.
Individual copies of reports, journals and artcicles are available - please contact ECRI Institute Europe for further information.
Clinical Trials Explained Book
The BMJ, in association with ECRI Institute Europe and the National Translational Cancer Research Network , has launched a new book, Clinical Trials Explained.
- What will happen during and after a clinical trial?
- How will a trial affect my quality of life?
- What are the benefits and risks of a trial
- What does giving consent mean and what will it involve?
- Will I incur costs during and because of the trial?
These are the questions that should be raised every time a healthcare professional talks through with a patient the pros and cons of entering a clinical trial.
Clinical Trials Explained has been designed in consultation with doctors and patients who have taken part in trials, providing an essential and detailed guide to the clinical trials process. It therefore helps both clinicians and patients make well informed decisions on whether to take part in a clinical trial.
