Research Governance Training (GCP)

A key requirement for anyone involved in the conduct of clinical research is Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training. GCP is the ethical and scientific standard to which all clinical research is conducted. Its’ two main aims is to protect participant’s in research studies and to ensure the collection of high quality data. GCP training is mandatory for research staff.
