Good clinical practice training is essential for anyone involved in testing medicines on human volunteers. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an ethical and practical standard for the protection of the welfare of all clinical study participants including the integrity of the data collected.
Who needs Good clinical practice training
All the personnel involved in any way during the conduct of clinical trials require GCP training. The purpose of the training is to ensure that the personnel will be able to carry out duties related to the clinical research effectively while protecting the welfare of the study participants. Things that might appear insignificant to the personnel may have significant impact on the study outcome of a clinical study. Good clinical practice training is an important requirement; personnel must also have some experience in the field of work.
Good clinical practice training frequency
GCP training frequency is variable. Each clinical research protocol has different requirements relating to GCP training. It’s therefore not easy to say how often a person will need GCP training.
After the initial detailed Good clinical practice training, subsequent trainings should not be in as much detail as the initial training. They should be updates in regulations, guidelines, new software, safety and specific applications to the protocol. These trainings may last for a day or a few years. Some people miss the initial detailed Good clinical practice training and begin with the updates. These people tend to face certain challenges which are difficult to overcome
