Equipment and services vary across our region. We assess the suitability of our sites for clinical trials based on each trial’s needs.
We’re part of the Australian Teletrial Program. This program uses telehealth and remote monitoring to conduct trials safely.
Our remote facilities connect to trial sites in other cities. Patients can stay close to their home and family while taking part in trials.
We have a team ready to help the clinical trials workforce, investigators and sponsors.
All trials at Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service follow the latest guidelines from the Australian Government. These include the ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice and the National Standard Operating Procedures for Clinical Trials.
