This REC Directory page provides a list of meeting dates for Research Ethics Committees (RECs) within the UK Health Departments’ Research Ethics Service. Please note some of our RECs have merged, closed or changed names.

Only select one option from the Committee Flag filter list please. If you wish to check for two types of study/committee flag you will need to do a separate search and cross reference the results.

Please ensure you are aware of the latest guidance about applying for approvals before you plan and book for your REC review. After preparing your application, please use the Online Booking Service to book into a REC meeting.
