This practical course is designed for professionals involved in planning, conducting, or overseeing clinical trials in the UK. It focuses on how clinical trials are authorised and managed under the UK regulatory (effective 28 April 2026), helping learners understand the key processes and responsibilities involved in running studies compliantly.
Developed by experienced regulatory and clinical research professionals, the course combines clear explanations with realistic examples to show how trial applications are submitted through the Integrated Research Application System (IRAS), how approvals are obtained, and how sponsors and investigators manage trials in practice. Learners will also explore how the UK system differs from the EU Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) and how GCP E6(R3) shapes trial design, oversight, and safety monitoring.
Rather than focusing on complex regulatory theory, the course takes a practical, accessible approach that helps learners understand how UK clinical trials operate in real-world settings, including studies that involve both UK and EU sites.
