Guidelines for Good Operational Practice

We develop lean, harmonised processes.

The SCTO’s Guidelines for Good Operational Practice (GGOP) represent a framework of common standards for professional and operational practice in clinical research. These guidelines are regularly updated and adapted to reflect the latest parameters in clinical research. The last revision (version 3.0) was completed by the SCTO and experts from the CTU Network in early 2018. The guidelines’ next thorough review is planned during the 2021–2024 funding period and will be conducted by the SCTO’s Auditing Platform.

The SCTO is proud to have our GGOP publication included in the International Compilation of Human Research Standards (2020 Edition), collated by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
