ICR Autumn Ethics and GCP Forum 2025

Hear key updates from MHRA, HRA and other guest speakers on current topics relevant to clinical trial conduct

For over 20 years the Institute of Clinical Research has been proud to hold our flagship Ethics & GCP Forum as they strive to bring up-to-date, hot off-the-press news from the HRA, MHRA and speakers. The Ethics and GCP Forums are led and organised totally by volunteers who give their time freely, with The Institute playing a supportive administrative role.

The Forum now runs one online event in the autumn of each year and one in person event in Spring of each year.

The Ethics & GCP Forum continues to strive to deliver up to date information on what is happening.

  • Keep up to date with current ethical and clinical research issues
  • Learn about new industry and regulatory initiatives
  • Hear key industry figures speak about their specialist fields
  • Network with fellow clinical research professionals.
