BASIC MONITORING COURSE
FOR MEDICAL DEVICE CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS
Course duration: 2½ days

Every sponsor, every monitor dreams of obtaining high quality data the first time. Non-compliance issues and unusable data are the major problems encountered during data collection.

We all know that cleaning up data retrospectively is time consuming, adds extra cost to trials, and delays production of the final report.

This course enables medical device manufacturers to get a greater value out of their clinical investment by:
Significantly reducing the training time of new CRAs.
Providing CRAs with practical tools in order to monitor efficiently.

The CRAs who attend this course will be able to:
Understand GCP and why it needs to be respected.
Understand the outcome of non-compliance.
Work fast and efficiently.
Monitor independently.
Reduce non-compliance issues.
Deal with difficult investigators.
Collect/produce valid data from the clinical sites.
Reduce the number of queries.

Who should attend:
New and junior clinical research associates in search of monitoring excellence.
