GCP Training Workshop
PRESENTED BY: ELEANOR ALLAN, Caledonian Clinical Training
This training is open to investigators and research coordinators (data managers, study
coordinators and nurses).
Level 23
Many sponsors require that trial research staff renew their Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
certification every 2 years. The GCP training will be conducted by a TransCelerate accredited
trainer and meets the Minimum Criteria for ‘ICH GCP Investigator Site Personnel Training’
identified by TransCelerate BioPharma as necessary to enable mutual recognition of GCP
training among trial sponsors. This means that all sponsors that subscribe to the Transcelerate
process will accept the GCP training and site personnel will not have to repeat the training. A
Certificate of Completion will be presented to participants at the end of the workshop.
The course will focus on the application of GCP in your daily work with practical case studies,
workshops and discussions. Attendees will gain a good understanding of the rationale behind
GCP requirements and how to interpret those areas of GCP that are open to interpretation. The
course will include discussion on how compliance with GCP can be achieved as efficiently as
possible.
2.00pm-5.30pm
Concept Development Workshop
PRESENTED BY: MARTIN STOCKLER & LINDA MILESHKIN
The aim of this workshop is to provide information and guidance about how to develop an
initial idea or clinical question into a formal research proposal (concept outline), plus tips on
developing funding strategies and applications.
Attendees should come prepared to discuss their own idea for a clinical research study. Ideally,
this means making a start on completing a standard template for a concept outline, as attached.
Attendees should also be prepared to give a seven minute presentation about their idea,
including a (very) brief background and rationale (three minutes); proposed aim, objectives (and
enpdoints), design, target population, sample size (rough). Attendees should also identify what
they need the most help with from the assembled faculty.

Radiation Oncology Workshop
Inaugural meeting of the Gynae-Oncology Special Interest Group
CONVENORS: PEARLY KHAW & LISA SULLIVAN
Level 23
This Workshop will form the inaugural meeting for the Gynae-Oncology Special Interest Group
(Cool, catchy name to be decided at workshop!). The ANZGOG conference Radiation Oncology
Workshop seems an optimal time to begin discussion and formation of this group.
Your attendance at this meeting is sought to formulate what is important to us and how best
to highlight our services. As we are not just mere technicians, it is also an opportunity for us to
look at how radiation oncology contributes to further research in gynae-oncology and how we
can increase our profile within Australasia and internationally.
Through the efforts of Dr Rebecca Chin and Pearly Khaw, details have been sought from
RANZCR about the requirements for the formation of this tumour-specific group.
2.00pm-5.30pm

Consultation: The National Framework for Gynaecological Cancer Control
FACILITATED BY: WAYNE KINRADE, Managing Director, Healthcare Management Advisors (HMA)
Growing underlying need, along with the desire to improve the quality of care and outcomes
of cancer treatment, led to a decision by Cancer Australia to develop a framework to guide
directions in gynaecological cancer control over the next five years. During this session
Healthcare Management Advisors (HMA) will consult with ANZGOG’s Consumer group to
ascertain what they see as the priorities in gynaecological cancer control.
Study concept development session
FACILITATED BY: CATH ADAMS
This workshop will further explore and refine the theme for the CCC study with the aim to agree
on the study topic and summarise it into a one sentence concept.
