For over 20 years the Institute of Clinical Research has been proud to hold our flagship Ethics & GCP Forum as they strive to bring up-to-date, hot off-the-press news from the HRA, MHRA and speakers. The Ethics and GCP Forums are led and organised totally by volunteers who give their time freely, with The Institute playing a supportive administrative role.

The Forum now runs one online event in the autumn of each year and one in person event in Spring of each year.

The Ethics & GCP Forum continues to strive to deliver up to date information on what is happening.

  • Keep up to date with current ethical and clinical research issues
  • Learn about new industry and regulatory initiatives
  • Hear key industry figures speak about their specialist fields
  • Network with fellow clinical research professionals.
