The second ICRIN GCP course of 2009 was held at the UCD Catherine McAuley Education and Research centre at the Mater hospital on Wednesday 29 April 2009.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training is required by the Irish Medicines Board (IMB) for all those involved in carrying out clinical trials. This is a one day course designed to fulfill this requirement and is the second in a number of ICRIN GCP courses which will be held across the country in 2009.

The course on 29 April was attended by a variety of individuals from industry and academia, coming from many different therapeutic backgrounds. Input from participants contributed to information sharing and much lively discussion was generated. The ICRIN GCP course has been highly successful and very well received in the local community, with both courses fully subscribed weeks before the closing date for applications.

The next course will be held at St. Vincent’s University Hospital on Thursday, 30 July 2009. For more information and to apply for the course please visit
