Code of practice

CCRA Code of practice...

All members agree to abide by the CCRA code of practice. In the vast majority of cases, these standards are the norm for our members even before they join CCRA. Our insistence in adhering to the code is simply to ensure that all members offer the same high levels of quality and professionalism.

Quality
All members must ensure that all clinical contract research is carried out in compliance with ICH-GCP and other regulations and legislation governing the quality of clinical research.

Quality assurance (QA) is a requirement of ICH-GHP (5.2, 5.19) and is one of the principal means by which regulatory authorities and sponsors are assured that clinical contract research is conducted to ICH-GCP. Members must have a nominated person in their company responsible for QA and through policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and a system of internal audits must ensure that the highest quality standards are maintained.

Financial
Members must comply with all national regulations governing the financial management of companies.

Members must be financially sound so that the fulfillment of contracts and completion of clinical contract research is not compromised due to lack of funds.

Customer service
At all times members must strive to provide the highest levels of customer service to client companies. Failure to do so damages the reputation of the clinical contract industry as a whole, not just the company involved.
