TREAD

TREAD is committed to advancing responsible research, ethical treatment of human research subjects, and ensuring that the right of every human being to voluntary, informed consent with regards to research is respected... In June 2016, we became the first research organisation in Africa to be awarded accreditation by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) joining an elite group of only 231 research institutions throughout the world to have achieved such accreditation merit... TREAD Research provides training of registrars passing through Cardiology within Stellenbosch University - usually 10-12 per year. Many of these doctors are now in private practice and functioning as principal investigators in their own right now. In addition, TREAD has also taken on a number of medical students for elective periods. During this time, students are exposed to research techniques and have been given the opportunity to participate in clinical research.
