Objectives

This education course provides practical guidance through workshops on how to perform gap analysis, prepare plans for implementing systems and procedures to bring your organisation in compliance with the GDP regulations.

Background

The globalisation of the pharmaceutical supply chain has created new challenges for manufacture and supply of medicinal products in various markets, resulting in reduced control and increased security risk to the products.
The EU GDP Guidelines have been extensively revised to take into account the changing nature of the globalised supply chain. The new requirements have been effective since September 2013. These requirements highlight the need for an effective quality management system supported by risk assessment and appropriate controls. Do you think you are compliant with the new requirements?
This two day tutorial has been designed to bring you up-to-date with the current regulatory thinking and standards for Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and to provide you with tools and guidance to help you with identifying the gaps in your quality systems compared to the new requirements and planning and implementing the actions required.

Target Group

Managers and executives from companies involved in the distribution and supply of pharmaceutical products.
