The Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK) have published templates for subject information and informed consent forms for research participants on their webpages. There are a number of different templates; "Ordinary" consent from adults, consent to participation in drug trials, deputy consent where the patient is not competent to give consent, and age-appropriate informational letters.
It is recommended to use these consent templates when applying for pre-approval from REK, both because the templates cover the need for what the consent should contain and because experience shows that REK prefers these templates to be used.
