Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is a set of internationally recognised ethical and scientific quality requirements which must be observed for designing, conducting, recording and reporting clinical trials that involve the participation of humans.
An understanding of GCP is prerequisite for anyone carrying out, or involved in, clinical research and clinical trials.
