The NIHR Associate PI Scheme is a 6 month in-work training opportunity which allows trainees to gain practical experience in research. It involves completing the NIHR portfolio trial under the mentorship of an enthusiastic local PI. More information can be found here.
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is the international ethical, scientific and practical standard to which all clinical research is conducted.
It is important that everyone involved in research is trained or appropriately experienced to perform the specific tasks they are being asked to undertake. GCP training is a requirement set out in the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research developed by the Health Research Authority for researchers conducting clinical trials of investigational medicinal products (CTIMPs).
