The Human Tissue Act (1961) is a UK law that regulates the use and storage of human tissue for research and education. It's built on the idea that people implicitly consent to the use of their tissue after death unless they explicitly object.

The Alder Hey organs scandal involved the inappropriate taking, keeping, and disposal of human tissue from children without proper consent. It led to crucial changes in how tissue is handled.

The Alder Hey scandal showed the importance of getting informed consent before using human tissue. This means people must understand the risks and benefits before agreeing to donate their tissue.

The Human Tissue Act was amended after the Alder Hey scandal to increase emphasis on obtaining explicit consent for the use of human tissue for research and education.

The scandal highlighted the need for strict guidelines and regulations surrounding the handling of human tissue in research and medical settings. It reinforced the importance of ethical practice.

A formal process where a person freely agrees to participate in a research study after understanding all relevant details.

The process of providing information to patients about their care, aiming to protect the clinician.

The ethical guidelines for biomedical research involving human subjects, emphasizing informed consent and patient autonomy.

A formal document outlining the risks, benefits, and procedures involved in a research study.

The process of seeking consent from individuals who may not be able to fully understand the research, such as children or people with cognitive impairments.

A set of rules and regulations that govern the conduct of research, ensuring ethical and legal standards are met.

A legal framework governing the use and storage of human tissue and organs for research purposes.

The process of obtaining consent from individuals for the use of their tissue or organs for research purposes, following specific legal requirements.

A legal framework for regulating the removal, storage, use, and disposal of human tissue.

An organization that regulates the use of human tissue in the UK, ensuring it is handled ethically and legally.

This Act ensures that informed consent is legally required before using someone's tissue for research or other purposes.

The Human Tissue Act covers a broad range of activities including anatomical examinations, research, public displays, and organ transplant.

Bodily matter containing human cells, including blood, tissues, organs, and even waste products like breast milk. It excludes things like gametes, embryos, and hair/nails from living people.

This act focuses on preventing unlawful or unethical use of human tissue. It addresses issues like storing material without proper consent, using donated material for a different purpose, and illegal tissue trafficking.

This refers to the legal process of getting permission from a person before taking or using their tissue. It is crucial for respecting a person's autonomy over their body.

The HTA requires a license for activities like anatomical examination, post-mortem, storing tissue for research, public body displays, and more. This ensures quality control and ethical standards.

Research involving 'relevant material' needs either a HTA license or approval from the NHS Research Ethics Committee (REC). It prevents unauthorized use or storage.

This happens when individuals donate their tissue for a specific purpose, like research, but it's later used for something else without their permission.

This refers to the use of tissue that was taken from a deceased person without the consent of their loved ones. It is unethical and against the law.
