Formal teaching in ethics is neglected in psychiatric training. This paper takes a practical approach in outlining ethical issues relevant to different stages of a research project. It is suggested that whatever the scale of the research, it is important to examine the ethical issues which surround the development of a project, as well as those which are integral to the protocol.
