The clinical trial investigator carries responsibility for the conduct of the clinical trial at their site, and also has primary responsibility for participant welfare. This training explains why this is so important and where the specific responsibilities come from. We also look at how these responsibilities can be met and also how you can demonstrate compliance and oversight in the event of an inspection.
We can also cover responsibilities when delegating work to site staff or a third party department or vendor: how to train site staff and how to demonstrate oversight of delegated tasks, duties and functions.
The course can be tailored to cover UK, EU and/or US information.
Who is it suitable for?
The course is essential for investigators and investigational site staff working in clinical research and clinical trials, particularly those who are not familiar with the guidelines and regulations they should be following, for example Investigators, Research Nurses, Study Site Coordinators..
