Strategies to implement the informed consent process.

Recommendation to improve the informed consent process

The informed consent dialogue must be carried out in an accurate and transparent manner, especially in the case of involvement of research staff members.
Involvement in the research protocol should be discussed extensively in an interactive and dynamic way.
A counseling service should be available to all donors prior to procurement.
The consent procedures should be updated according to data from research on informed consent as well as, where appropriate, the studies on long-term risks associated with the collection.
