The Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects (CCMO) has produced guidelines for obtaining informed consent and has adapted the nationally mandatory proefpersonen-informatieformulier in light of the GDPR (for WMO research). In addition, the NFU working group ‘Privacy, ethiek & recht in gezondheidsonderzoek’ is currently developing a UMC format for broad consent, which may be applicable to certain non-WMO research. Advice on how to inform donors and patients about the use of their biomaterials and/or data in scientific research can be found at the ELSI servicedesk.

The ethical committee at your UMC can help you design your informed consent procedure. Regarding data management, the informed consent should include the person's wishes about:

  • the use and reuse of patient data for research in the current and future projects;

  • notification about the research results, including incidental research findings (special concern is required for results that cannot be interpreted now, but may be interpretable in the near future);

  • which data he/she can access, if applicable;

  • the possibility to withdraw certain aspects of informed consent and the consequences;

  • data use by commercial parties.

Consent should be documented along with the collected data, so subsequent users of the data are aware of the conditions agreed to by study subjects.
