GCP training policy
All researchers involved in a Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product (CTIMP), i.e. a study which falls under the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004, are legally obliged to conduct their research study in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
It is a requirement that all members of a trial team identified on the Trial Delegation Log, not just the Chief Investigator/ Principal Investigator (CI)/ (PI), complete GCP training. GCP training should be renewed every two years.
