Every clinical trial hinges on a shared language of ethics, documentation, and oversight. The most recent ICH E6(R3) revision raises the bar—demanding smarter risk management, verified digital systems, and human-centred consent workflows.
FreeGCP was built as an open-access reference implementation of those expectations. We blend the rigour of regulatory source documents with annotated case studies and interactive exercises that translate policy into instinct.
The result: a credible credential for individuals and a scalable baseline for organizations who refuse to cut corners on participant safety or data integrity.
