Clinical Trial Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Made Easy

When:  May 1, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM (Melbourne time)

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) help to make job functions standardised within your team and improve quality outcomes for your research organisation. They are a critical element of clinical trial practice, according to ICH GCP, supporting ongoing knowledge sharing for research personnel. SOPs are a critical part of your Quality Management System and an excellent resource for staff training.

In this workshop, we’ll provide you with best-practice guidance for SOP development. We’ll focus on aligning to emerging requirements around Quality Management standards and principles as articulated in ICH GCP and other guidance including ISO 14155:2020 – GCP for Medical Devices and the National Standard Operating Procedures for Clinical Trials documentation.
