Course Overview

Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) ensures that laboratory processes supporting clinical trials produce reliable, traceable, and ethically sound data. The Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) course provides in-depth knowledge of the standards required to maintain data integrity, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance in clinical research laboratories.

Learners will explore the principles, implementation, and operational requirements of GCLP, including laboratory design, documentation, and audits. This course also bridges the connection between GCP (Good Clinical Practice) and GLP (Good Laboratory Practice), ensuring consistency between clinical and analytical phases of research.

By the end, you’ll be equipped to apply GCLP principles in daily operations, manage audits effectively, and contribute to high-quality, regulatory-compliant clinical trial data.
