Clinical and Research Safeguards

MUHC staff will take all necessary precautions to assure the safety of each person in our hospital and make every effort to protect children and their families from harm.

As per hospital policy, patients will be informed of untoward events which developed or occurred during their care.

All clinical research will be conducted within accepted ethical standards, and only after review and approval by the appropriate Research Ethics Board. Patients may refuse to engage in a research project, or withdraw from participation in a project at any time without fear that this will influence their care or that of their family members in any way.
