Research Governance Training

It is the policy of both Queen Mary and Barts Health that all researchers conducting research at our sites must attend appropriate training. It is mandated that all researchers of MHRA-regulated trials must complete a GCP course and refresh within the preceding three years. The same is advised as the best practice for all other researchers.
More details regarding research-specific training can be found in JRMO SOP 34a Researcher Training and SOP 12b Barts Health/Queen Mary Sponsorship of Interventional Studies Process for JRMOs staff [PDF 317KB]
