Introductory Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training days

If you are a University staff member or student directly involved in the conduct, oversight, or management of clinical trials, you are required to undertake GCP training prior to the commencement of such activity and maintain competency through refresher GCP training every three years.

For more information, refer to Human health research risk management.

The University has partnered with Green Lane Coordinating Centre to develop its own introductory GCP training.

This training meets the minimum requirements for International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) GCP investigator site personnel training, as identified by TransCelerate Biopharma, to enable mutual accreditation of GCP training among trial sponsors. Staff and students will receive a certificate after completion of training.

Training is open to all staff and students directly involved in the conduct, oversight, or management of clinical trials (or will be within six months).

GCP training topic areas

The training is delivered as a six-hour face-to-face seminar covering:

• History of clinical research
• Clinical trial overview
• Ethics committees overview
• Informed consent regulations and standards
• Regulatory documentation requirements
• Source records and document systems

The training day will be followed by a quiz administered through Canvas.
