Objectives
Broaden your knowledge of the Qualified Person’s duties and see and discuss which responsibilities and tasks are parts of a QP’s daily life – besides batch certification. With fulfilling these tasks, the QP has a lot of interfaces and interactions. How this can be managed will be a topic in Module B and its pre-course session on soft skills.
Background
Over the last years the role and responsibilities of the Qualified Person have been increasing considerably. As a key person in the company, the QP has to consider many issues and has to take up the challenges within its areas of responsibilities. Additionally, as laid out in Article 49 of the European Directive 2001/83/EC, the QP needs to be highly qualified and experienced. EQPA’s education course modules will help the QP to be well prepared and to be on top of current developments in GMP and regulatory requirements.
Target Group
New and practicing Qualified Persons who are looking for ongoing training and want to improve their effectiveness and liaison with other functions.
