About
GCSA
An accreditation standard for clinical trial sites set across seven key areas that ensures sponsors, stakeholders and staff deliver a high-quality experience to all stakeholders.


The GCSA accreditation awards sites a quality mark which will attract sponsors by proving credibility, quality and capability.
The accreditation has been developed from decades of industry experience and input from our global advisory board; made up of sponsors, pharmaceutical organisations, CRNs, CROs, NHS Trusts, commercial research organisations and the wider healthcare industry.
This unique accreditation has been developed by clinical research experts working with process improvement specialists who have both a healthcare and manufacturing background whilst being expert exponents of Lean methodologies. This blend of cross- sector knowledge has allowed the GCSA accreditation to be a robust, forward-thinking assessment process, incorporating best in class tools and techniques.
