Good Clinical Practice for Clinical Laboratory Staff Evaluating Clinical Trial Samples

This course covers all of the information required for those who will be conducting research in a clinical laboratory or setting-up, overseeing or managing the analysis of clinical samples as part of clinical research.

It is not intended for those who will have significant clinical contact with patients. If you will be working with patients for one or more drug trials - the CTIMP course will be more appropriate. If you will be working with patients but only on non-drug trials (observational, surgical, medical devices etc.) - the Non-CTIMP course will be more appropriate.

Staff and students are only ever required to attend one type of GCP training - if you have attended another GCP course, you are not expected to attend the Laboratory course as well.
