What this is
GCP is the international ethical and methodological standard for clinical research: informed consent, protocol adherence, data integrity, adverse event reporting. The course is provided by Oxford's The Global Health Network.
The certificate is accepted for clinical research posts and by ethics committees. That means it satisfies a formal requirement rather than merely decorating a CV, which is very rare among free certificates.
Who it is for
Researchers, clinical trial coordinators, pharmacists and doctors involved in studies.
