Submitting an ethics application in Australia is not an easy procedure. On 16th Jan 2017, ESR 9, Suey Yueng, was pleased to receive ethical approval from the Melbourne Health Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) for her PhD project “Nutritional needs and physical function in community-dwelling geriatric outpatients to counteract sarcopenia and ultimately preserve daily function – The SHAPE study” (HREC/16/MH/346). She is looking forward to recruiting the FIRST participant of the study. Please click here to read the approval letter from the ethics committee.
