Denna e-learning är en grundläggande utbildning som grundar sig på material framtaget av Biobank Sverige.
Projektet startades 2016 av Läkemedelsakademin/Apotekarsocieteten, ASCRO, Biobank Sverige och LIF.

Uppdaterad och kostnadsfri

Utbildningen har nu uppdaterats i enlighet med ändringar i biobankslagen från 2019.
En annan nyhet för 2020 är att aktörerna i projektet erbjuder utbildningen kostnadsfritt för alla i branschen.

Innehåll och format

Utbildningen är som förut 100 procent webbaserad och tar cirka 60 minuter att genomföra. Efter en kort kursutvärdering kan du ladda ned ditt kursdiplom.

2. Biobank – regelverk, inrätta, biobanksansvariges uppdrag, kvalitetshandbok
3. Provhantering – utlämna/skicka för analys, hantering, förvaring
4. Vad ska provgivaren samtycka till (utomlands, förvarandetid, destruera prov)
5. Olika avtal för tillgång till prov (singelcenter- och multicenterstudie)
6. Under studiens gång (väsentliga förändringar, kompletteringar, avslut)
7. Fall 1 – 5 (genomgång av olika typfall)

Målgrupp

• Personer som skriver ansökningar om tillgång till prov för forskning.
• Organisationer som ska bedriva kliniska prövningar med prover i Sverige, även utländska aktörer som inte har lokal anknytning.

Ulrika Heldestad from Scandinavian CRO is a new member of the board of ASCRO as of June 2019.

We welcome her to the team and very much look forward to her contributions to the work we plan to do together in the future!

ASCRO attended the Nordic Life Science Days in Stockholm 11-12Sep2018 with a number of representatives being present both from the board of ASCRO and from member companies. Discussions were held with potential new members, but also with other parties such as different companies within drug development and organisations such as Sweden Bio. There are many interesting initiatives going on in Sweden, as well as in our neighboring countries, within the Life Science sector and they all have the goal to strengthen and develop this area. Two that are worth to mention are Testa center in Uppsala and the Finnish project with the national biobank and genomic mapping.
