BUMEC What is BUMEC The improvement of the ethical review in Bulgaria could only be achieved by serious commitment of all interested parties, particularly the members of Ethics Committees.
On 5-6th June 2003 the Association for Good Clinical Practice And Clinical Research Development in Bulgaria & European Forum for Good Clinical Practice (EFGCP) organised a Workshop on the Development of Ethical Review in Bulgaria and Establishing Best Practice in Conjunction with National, European and International Guidance. A proposal for establishing a Bulgarian Forum for the members of Ethics Committees as a part of the Association was discussed and accepted.
The establishment of an independent Bulgarian Forum of the Local Ethics Committees (BUMEC) aims to help the development of the ethical review in Bulgaria and at the same time to give the members the opportunity to exchange ideas and to collaborate in the development of highly professional working standards in the Ethics Committees.
