Study Training Information

Everything you need to get active with research - GCP certification and training guides for each study.


Getting started

NIHR Standard Training

Good clinical practice (GCP)

GCP is the agreed international standard for conducting clinical research.

Good Clinical Practice Training is required for researchers conducting Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMPs). It ensures that the rights, safety, and wellbeing of trial participants are protected, and that the data generated is credible and reliable.

Everyone who works on delivering Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMP) has to have an up-to-date GCP certificate.
