SAN DIEGO --(Business Wire)--

The European Centre for Clinical Research Training (ECCRT), a SynteractHCR company, has been recognized by TransCelerate BioPharma Inc. as an official training facility that meets the standards established for investigator training by this association of biopharma companies.

TransCelerate BioPharma Inc. is a non-profit organization focused on advancing innovation in research and development (R&D), identifying and solving common R&D challenges, and further improving patient safety, with the goal of delivering more high quality medicines to patients. It has established several clinical data standards, including study site qualification and training. Once accredited by the organization, ECCRT is recognized by all members of the organization as an approved training facility for investigators - which in turn, means that all investigators trained by this facility meet the standards established.



"SynteractHCR and its training facility are dedicated to supporting even higher levels of proficiency in the industry," says Gerald Van Roey, M.Ph.Ed., managing director at ECCRT. "To achieve this end, it was imperative for us to be acknowledged as an industry-recognized site for investigator training. Training is an important investment for companies, and one that will pay off in the long-run, in having both more engaged employees and better patient care."

TransCelerate evolved from discussions at various forums for executive R&D leadership to discuss relevant issues facing the industry and solutions for addressing common challenges. SynteractHCR supports the goal of this organization to enhance focus on qualitative training based on good course design, correct methodology and Good Clinical Practice. As part of its ICD+ initiative, SynteractHCR seeks out ways to increase efficiencies, streamline process and improve outcomes; ECCRT's recognition by TransCelerate meets the goals of the organization as well as that of its parent company.
