John Hooper, chief executive of the ICR, explained: "The title encapsulates what we are trying to achieve with all of our events and the wider programme of training and CPD.
"We are committed to driving up the standards of clinical research and supporting our members at every stage of their career from trainee to senior professional and our events prove very popular.
"We already provide a range of information services such as the monthly awareness bulletin, resource library, Odin Catalogue, monthly eNews and our member helpline, and we also launched ICR's first two eBooks, 'To Be a CRA' and 'To Be a CTA', which are both available to download for free from our website".
September's training events included an Introduction to Clinical Trials and Clinical Trials Practice and two Forum events in Yorkshire and Germany on 20 and 29 September respectively.

The groups meet to discuss current ethical and GCP issues four times a year providing platforms for sharing best practices and the opportunity to effect change to guidelines and working practices, thus improving the working standards.
