Steven Marshall and Liz Lennon, NHS Lanarkshire’s accredited NHS Research Scotland Good Clinical Practice (NRS GCP) trainers, will resume face-to-face training for researchers involved in clinical trials of investigational medicines. The training – like many other educational activities – was suspended due to Covid-19 impacts, but is returning albeit with a significantly reduced capacity.
It is a legislative requirement that all staff involved with clinical trials of investigative medicines complete GCP training and many staff have found it challenging to maintain this using online training resources.
Steven said: “Face-to-face training allows the staff to share their experience and improves the learning experience and the return of some of our face-to-face training allows staff to complete this training.
“We have decided to initially focus on ‘Introduction Training’ for those whose training has lapsed while continuing to offer online refresher training to maximise the available capacity”.
Training will take place on Friday 27 August in the Ronald Miller Education and Training Suite, University Hospital, Wishaw from 9am to 4.30pm.
