Participant Information and Consent Form

Help us learn more about hip dysplasia

If you are being checked, treated or seeing a doctor for hip dysplasia at a participating hospital or practice in Victoria, we invite you to take part in our registry or sub-study. Your contribution could help improve care and treatment for future patients. 

A VicHip team member may contact you in person or by phone after your child’s clinic appointment or hospital visit. We will explain VicHip, what is involved in taking part, and answer any questions you have.

It is important to read and understand the PICF. A member of the VicHip team will review this information with you and ask you to sign the consent section. You will get a copy to keep. Your consent covers you and your child.

Your or your child’s health records and any information obtained during a research project are subject to inspection to verify procedures and data. This review may be done by the relevant authorities and authorised representatives of MCRI, the RCH Human Research Ethics Committee and the institution relevant to the Participant Information Consent Form or as required by law. By signing the PICF, you authorise the release of, or access to, this confidential information to the relevant research personnel and regulatory authorities as noted above.
