Members of pharmacy staff and students in King’s Health Partners organisations may be working directly on a clinical trial or may come into contact with Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs) and trial participants as part of their standard duties. 

This course equips you with the knowledge and understanding required to safely manage IMPs and the documentation related to CTIMPs, in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the UK Clinical Trial Regulations. 

• This course is recommended if are doing a ‘standard’ pharmacy role 

• You may attend GCP for CTIMP instead if you would a broader understanding of GCP 

• If you have already attended the GCP for CTIMP (or other similar) course, you may find this course useful, but it is not mandatory to attend both. 

• This course also serves as the required refresher. Staff and students should repeat it at the usual interval (every two years for CTIMP research).
