Clinical Trials Business Unit

Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) has a proud tradition of actively participating in clinical trials, operating on the principle that a strong clinical research foundation enhances the delivery of high quality clinical care. In response to the Western Australian (WA) Government's recommendations for greater accountability in the conduct of research activities, RPH established the Clinical Trials Business Unit (CTBU). The CTBU mission is to provide world best practice in the governance of all Commercial and Non-Commercial clinical trials (legal, financial, indemnity, insurance), as well as fostering RPH as a centre of excellence in clinical research.
