GCP Refresher

About this course

All staff and students involved in Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMPs) must refresh and update their knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the UK Clinical Trial Regulations every 2 years. 

This course is designed to refresh your understanding of the core principles, regulations, and processes that apply to CTIMP research. It is a prerequisite that you have previously attended the GCP for CTIMPs course (or an equivalent) within the past 2 years.  

This course:

  • Is required for all staff and students working on CTIMPs to remain compliant with the 2-year refresher requirement. 
  • Presumes an existing level of knowledge. If you have not recently been involved in research, the Introductory GCP for CTIMP course is recommended instead. 

KHP-CTO does not require GCP refresher training for non-CTIMP studies. You may choose to attend a Refresher session, but please note the content is CTIMP-focused.

Who should attend?

  • Staff and students across KHP organisations working on CTIMPs who have already completed GCP training. 
  • Those required to maintain compliance with the 2-year refresher requirement for CTIMP research. 

Department sessions 

  • If a group of staff in your department require training at the same time, a departmental session can be arranged at a time and location that suits you. Sessions can be delivered either face-to-face or remote, depending on availability.
