Clinical Trials and Research Site Coordination Management

African hospitals and research units increasingly host clinical trials, and this course builds the coordination skills needed to run a compliant research site. Participants learn protocol management, participant recruitment and consent, ethics submissions, source documentation and sponsor monitoring visits through practical case studies. The programme focuses on good clinical practice principles applied to real resource constrained settings.

What you will be able to do

  • Coordinate site activities across the full clinical trial lifecycle.
  • Manage protocol requirements, amendments and study documentation.
  • Oversee participant recruitment, screening and informed consent processes.
  • Maintain source data integrity and audit ready trial records.
  • Prepare the site for ethics review, sponsor monitoring and inspection visits.
  • Manage trial supplies, sample handling and budget tracking at site level.
