Hospitals and other academic institutions are sponsoring more and more clinical trials. These trials may be multi-centre, multinational or interventional.  It is important that organisations (chief investigators or Hospitals’ clinical trial centres) have a quality management system in-place when sponsoring interventional clinical trials.

This academic Quality Management System Bootcamp is developed to support people who are involved in setting up or managing a QMS that covers the conduct and overall management of clinical trials in risk-proportionate ways.  The Bootcamp will include six 1-hour online sessions (via TEAMs) with a focus on the fundamentals of an effective Quality Management System. Each session will be interactive and give your quality mindset a robust workout on the practicalities of implementing quality in clinical trials. The sessions are developed and hosted by three quality professionals with expertise in Quality Management System requirements and experience in (academic) clinical research.

Though the primary focus is on academic clinical Quality Management System, the Bootcamp could also be of interest to those who manage quality within a small-sized Clinical R&D unit.
