Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) was first drafted and published in 2003. Then in 2006, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published GCLP guidance on its website as the standard for laboratories undertaking samples from Clinical Trials.

GCLP guidance identifies the systems required and procedures to be followed within any organisation that conducts analysis of samples from Clinical Trials in compliance with the requirements of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

This interactive and engaging GCLP course provides sponsors, laboratory management, project managers, CRAs and quality assurance personnel with an understanding of the framework for a quality system in analysis of clinical trial samples. It will ensure that all laboratory processes and results are GCLP compliant.
