Course overview:
This Quality Management Systems course explains how to establish, manage, monitor and continually improve a forward-thinking modern Pharmaceutical Quality Management System that adds real value to your organisation. The course covers current principles of Pharmaceutical Quality Management Systems (PQMS) and includes the FDA’s “Guidance for Quality Systems” and ICH Q10 “Guidance on Pharmaceutical Quality Systems”. These guidelines explain the evolving nature of QMS thinking, with a focus on organisational effectiveness and efficiency rather than just product quality and GMP. We also include the ramifications to a pharmaceutical company of the recently updated EU GMP Chapter 1 on Pharmaceutical Quality Management Systems and Chapter 2 on Personnel. These both have a major impact on the role of Top Management within an organisation.
Delegates will leave the course with a clear understanding of how to successfully integrate GMP, ICH Q8, 9 & 10 and ISO 9000 principles into a compliant, effective, efficient and continually improving QMS for the whole business, as well as the role of Quality Personnel in re-shaping quality thinking to move with the times to meet today’s business challenges.
Who will the course benefit?
This course is aimed at anyone working in pharmaceutical Quality Assurance who need to know how to establish, maintain, monitor and improve a modern Quality Management System that focuses on product quality, compliance to GMP and the needs of the business. This course is also of value to any Quality Professional, especially those working in Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement roles, as the course provides an eye-opening view of modern quality management thinking.
NOTE – an online version of this course is also available as well as a version for trainee Qualified Persons (QPs). The online version covers some additional content as required in the UK QP Study Guide.
