Assess the current state of clinical trial management against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Managing Clinical Trials for New Medicines
Practical training in clinical trial management, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess clinical trial management on documented evidence of consistent practice. The data supporting this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Every module pairs a short input on the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda with structured practice on the participant's own material. Practitioner evidence points the same way: clinical trial management improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The course covers the practice within health and pharmaceutical services at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this part of health and pharmaceutical services is examined from more than one functional angle. Improvement in clinical trial management stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services to standardise and which to leave flexible. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the health and pharmaceutical services capability survives a hostile question.
