Are you involved in, or interested in, clinical trials? Do you want to understand what makes a clinical trial ethical, efficient and impactful?
Then join us for the launch of the free, online, self-paced ‘WHO Good Practices for Clinical Trial Design and Implementation’ course and #StandWithScience in 2026.
Whether you're new to clinical research or looking to sharpen your understanding, this course offers a unique opportunity to develop a holistic view of what drives trial quality. Grounded in the 'WHO Guidance for best practices for clinical trials', it covers five key scientific and ethical principles for designing and conducting high-quality clinical trials. Hear from the WHO Chief Scientist, Dr Sylvie Briand, and those who have already completed the course, our course ambassadors, about what you will learn:
- The key scientific and ethical considerations for clinical trials as outlined in the WHO Guidance.
- How these considerations form a flexible, principles-based framework for designing and conducting clinical trials.
- How well-designed clinical trials contribute to addressing critical health challenges and supporting evidence-informed healthcare decisions.
The course may be particularly valuable for:
- Clinical trial staff (e.g., researchers, study coordinators, those involved in protocol development, monitors etc.) and funders
- Healthcare professionals involved in clinical research
- Data managers and statisticians
- Ethics Committee members
- Regulatory staff (NRA) and auditors
