Good Clinical Practice training (GCP) aims to ensure that:
- Research is conducted properly
- The people involved in research are safe
- Research results are reliable and can be used to support the introduction of new treatments
About the program
In collaboration with the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) in the UK, we have developed the Introduction course for those involved in clinical research in Australia. This course helps clinical researchers integrate GCP into their everyday work.
We offer introductory and refresher training. NIHR-trained good clinical practice facilitators working in a clinical research environment deliver the training. You will receive a valid certificate for three years upon completion of the course.
Process for enrolment
The Introduction to Good Clinical Practice course consists of five one-hour modules. We have designed it to provide participants with a sound knowledge of the standards required when conducting clinical research. These modules are:
- The Standards
- Study Set Up
- Informed Consent
- Case Report Form and Data Entry
- Safety Reporting
This course encourages you to discuss GCP and share best practice.
We hold courses either in Parkville or on-site at your organisation.
We offer ICH E6 GCP Investigator Site Training that meets the minimum criteria for ICH GCP Investigator Site Personnel Training, identified by TransCelerate BioPharma as necessary to enable mutual recognition of GCP training among trial sponsors.
