A partnership in the UK between a professional group, the Association of Clinical Research for the Pharmaceutical Industry (ACRPI), and a university, Liverpool John Moores University (JMU), has been highly successful for more than 6 years in offering high quality training and education of clinical research personnel. Two distinct but integrated courses have been developed. A Certificate of Professional Development in Clinical Research is offered primarily for study site co-ordinators and clinical pharmacology nurses. A post-graduate programme offers a variety of modules to suit the needs of clinical research personnel who wish to take more advanced training. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
