  • #Red4Research: A Greater Glasgow and Clyde collaboration spotlighting those who participate in, support, and undertake clinical research

    Patients admitted to research‐active hospitals have more confidence in staff and are better informed about their condition and medication. Research makes a difference to patients' lives, but how do you get involved?  

    This event will explain about how clinical research happens in Greater Glasgow and Clyde.  There will be presentations detailing the different departments that collaborate for successful research, and information about how new drugs are developed.  We will consider what it is like to work as a research nurse and we will hear from patients about their experiences of taking part in research trials.

    #Red4Research Day aims to demonstrate appreciation for all those who participate, undertake and support research.

    Find out more at Red4Research - 2024 - NHS R&D Forum (rdforum.nhs.uk). This event is a collaboration between Glasgow Clinical Research Facility and The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre and is suitable for patients, public and professionals who want to find out more about research. 

    All those who register will receive a link 2 days prior to the event.

    Registration closes 5pm on 4th June

  • 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.
