GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE (GCP)

Our team of specialist GCP auditors is unparalleled in expertise and training, having successfully completed a multitude of audits across many therapeutic domains. We take pride in our global presence, with a track record that spans over a wide range of countries, underpinned by adherence to both international and national standards.

Navigating the intricacies of GCP quality audits in today’s world presents a unique set of challenges, given the intricate nature of clinical trials and the widespread distribution of investigator sites. While sponsor organisations are predominantly based in Europe, the USA and Japan, their research reaches across the globe, extending to Asia, Africa, South America, the Middle East, and the Far East.

Our auditors transcend the mere logistical hurdles of reaching these remote locations; they excel in bridging the gap between diverse cultures with sensitivity and finesse. With SPGL’s personnel positioned worldwide, we are strategically placed to overcome language barriers, minimise travel time and expenses and facilitate seamless audits.
