Welcome to Research *NEW*
'Welcome to Research' is a new course aimed at explaining the roles and support offered by various research departments in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. It will enable the attendee to gain a greater understanding of the function of each department and recognise how and where, and when to contact relevant teams. We will also discuss pertinent aspects of research engagement including patient and public involvement and inclusion and diversity in research trials.
This is suitable for those who are new to research and planning to embark on a research study, and to those new to working in GGC research departments as in induction to the role.

NRS Introduction to Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
This one day course is designed either for those who have not studied Good Clinical Practice (GCP) before or those who have studied it more than two years ago. It is presented as a practical introduction to the subject and consists of a mixture of short lectures interspersed with practical activities, culminating in a monitoring workshop. The monitoring workshop allows the more abstract concepts that have been discussed throughout the day to be brought to life.
While the principles of GCP that are covered in the course are common to a wide range of different types of clinical research the course does focus on the drug trial specific legislation. However, it also promotes the ‘GCP-mindset’ needed to satisfy inspectors and auditors, and would therefore be useful for all clinical researchers.
This ICH E6 GCP Investigator Site Training meets the Minimum Criteria for ICH GCP Investigator Site Personnel Training identified by TransCelerate BioPharma, Inc. as necessary to enable mutual recognition of GCP training among trial sponsors. It is therefore essential to attend the whole course and certificates will not be issued to late comers.
