Elenco dei corsi di etica della ricerca e GCP riconosciuti da swissethics
swissethics raccomanda vivamente di mantenere le conoscenze attraverso regolari attività di ricerca, ad es. conducendo sperimentazioni cliniche, seguendo corsi di perfezionamento relativi alla ricerca o corsi di aggiornamento su GCP, esponendosi a ispezioni di GCP, ecc.
Uno sperimentatore/una sperimentatrice può assumere il ruolo e le responsabilità del promotore in una sperimentazione clinica se ha seguito sia il corso per lo "sperimentatore" che quello per il "promotore-sperimentatore". Il corso di formazione "promotore-sperimentatore" è valido e viene offerto solo ai candidati che hanno precedentemente seguito anche il corso riconosciuto "sperimentatore".
Si consiglia ai candidati di consultare direttamente il fornitore del corso per sapere quale modulo di formazione deve seguire per soddisfare i requisiti. Questo perché alcuni fornitori di corsi offrono moduli di formazione singoli "promotore-sperimentatore", mentre altri fornitori di corsi offrono entrambi i moduli ("sperimentatore" e "promotore-seperimentatore") in un unico corso.
La formazione sulla legislazione svizzera è normalmente integrata nei moduli del corso GCP per “sperimentatore” e “promotore-sperimentatore”, salvo diversa indicazione. TRREE offre un modulo di formazione online dedicato alla legislazione svizzera che può essere seguito indipendentemente dai moduli di formazone GCP.
swissethics e altre organizzazioni si sono date come obiettivo il miglioramento della qualità della ricerca clinica in Svizzera. Recenti rapporti e analisi hanno purtroppo mostrato una perdità di qualità, anche dovuta ad una mancata conoscenza delle regole e della legislazione. È per questa ragione che swissethics ha deciso che i certificati GCP ottenuti prima del 1° gennaio 2016 non sono più riconosciuti.
Tutti i certificati GCP rilasciati dai seguenti fornitori di corsi dopo il 1° gennaio 2016 sono considerati validi ma le commissioni etiche possono richiedere agli sperimentatori di seguire nuovamente un corso GCP, qualora ritengano che le conoscenze acquisite non siano adeguate allo svolgimento dei compiti di sperimentatore o sponsor-sperimentatore.
