I would like the role of CQA – clinical quality assurance. CQA inspects the documents and processes clinical trial data and ensures that testing follows proper guidelines as stated by good clinical practice (GCP). CQA can give exposure to all aspects of the clinical trials process, as they are involved in ensuring compliance in all areas. Serious failures can be dangerous for patients, very costly and damaging to a company’s reputation. Thus they tend to attract a lot of publicity and the role of CQA is therefore very important and high profile.
