Good Clinical Practice (GCP)

ICH-GCP (Good Clinical Practice) is an international standard for the preparation and execution of clinical drug trials. The principal investigator is responsible for training research staff.

• All staff involved in drug trials must be GCP-trained.

• This training is beneficial for all human scientific research.

• It's generally required to update GCP training every 2-3 years.

• Various sponsors and pharmaceutical companies provide training for staff within specific scientific studies.
