ACTT is a centre of excellence for clinical trials
In February 2024, Aotearoa Clinical Trials became the FIRST clinical trial site network in New Zealand to achieve GCSA Certification – The Global Quality Standard for Clinical Research Sites AND IAOCR Workforce Quality Accreditation (WQA), Silver Standard.
IAOCR is The International Accrediting Organisation for Clinical Research. The WQA quality mark acknowledges a high-performing clinical research ‘workforce of excellence’ with fit-for-purpose processes and procedures that reduce risk to patients, research and reputations. WQA ensures that clinical trial sites have a “right first time” and “quality built in” workforce ecosystem that enables compliance with ICH-GCP by focusing on global best practices related to team performance and competence.
GCSA is the global quality standard for clinical research sites and is a specialist service line provided by IAOCR specifically for sites.
