Research Ethics Committee (CEI)

The Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Hermanas Hospitalàries was created in 2006, linked to the Hospital de Sant Rafael.

After the entry into force of Royal Decree 1090/2015, of December 4, which regulates clinical trials with medications, the new CEI with Medicines is created. This Royal Decree defines within the Research Ethics Committees (CEI) the subgroup of Research Ethics Committees with medicines (CEIm), giving the latter the additional responsibility of evaluating clinical studies with medications and / or medical devices .

Our CEI has adapted its internal regulations and its Standardized Work Procedures to the new legislation, and has been renamed CEI FIDMAG Hermanas Hospitalarias. In the absence of specific regulations for the CEI that do not evaluate medications, the current legislation remains the one established by Decree 406/2006, of October 24, of the Department of Health, which regulates the requirements and procedures for accreditation of the ethics committees of clinical research.

In 2018, the CEI FIDMAG Hermanas Hospitalarias has been re-accredited by the General Directorate of Regulation, Planning and Health Resources of the Department of Health of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and its scope of action is legally restricted to Catalonia.
