The SCTO’s CTU Network is the country’s largest provider of training and services for academic clinical research. In 2022, the CTU Network was involved in 2,118 clinical research projects and provided training to more than 10,270 clinical research staff.
Over 10,270 clinical research staff received training in 2022, mainly in ethics and good clinical practice (GCP) courses (54%) or in undergraduate or postgraduate training programmes (MD, CAS, DAS, MSc/MAS, PhD) (46%). Over the past few years, the number of people attending GCP courses each year has increased significantly (6,242 attended courses in 2022 compared to 4,800 in 2017). This growth is due to new GCP refresher courses as well as the increasing availability of online training opportunities.
