Much of what is known today about the safety and efficacy of specific products and treatments have come from randomised controlled clinical trials designed to answer important scientific and health care questions. Randomised controlled trials form the foundation for &#8220;evidence-based medicine&#8221;, but such research can be relied upon only if it is conducted according to principles and standards collectively referred to as &#8220;Good Clinical Research Practice&#8221; (GCP).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This workshop will provide a unique opportunity by giving an overview of this process and type of research study and introduce new and valuable knowledge for researchers in the field. Pioneering researchers and scientists in the field of clinical trials and research will facilitate this workshop and share their knowledge and experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"greenfill\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Workshop Facilitators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A group of experts with track records in the design, conduct and analysis of trials in a variety of clinical specialities will facilitate the workshop, and among them:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Prof Rod Hay, Sudan<\/li>\n<li>Prof Ahmed Hassan Fahal, Sudan<\/li>\n<li>Prof Ahmed Modawi Musa, Sudan<\/li>\n<li>Dr Monique Wasunna, Kenya<\/li>\n<li>Dr Sahar Mubarkh Bakhiet, Sudan, Sudan<\/li>\n<li>Dr Borna Nyaoke, Kenya<\/li>\n<li>Dr Reem Abdulaziz Abdulrahman, Sudan<\/li>\n<li>Dr Eiman Sadig, Sudan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"greenfill\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Learning Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the end of the course, participants will have a good understanding of:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>What is a clinical trial<\/li>\n<li>Research Design and Experimental Methodology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Clinical Trial Execution<\/li>\n<li>Good Clinical Practice of clinical trials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Good Laboratory Practice of clinical trials<\/li>\n<li>Ethics in Clinical Research<\/li>\n<li>Independent ethics committee\/ Independent review board<\/li>\n<li>Study protocol and compliance<\/li>\n<li>Patients Recruitment<\/li>\n<li>Roles and responsibilities<\/li>\n<li>Logistics<\/li>\n<li>Good Finance Practice (GFP)<\/li>\n<li>Quality systems<\/li>\n<li>Records keeping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"greenfill\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Workshop Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Date<\/td>\n<td>Session<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9:00-11:00<\/td>\n<td>Ice-breaking<\/p>\n<p>Setting workshop objectives<\/p>\n<p>Clinical trials introduction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tea &amp;
