This intensive, interactive four-day pharmaceutical training course is designed to provide aspiring QPs and other pharmaceutical quality professionals with the knowledge and understanding they need of the legal duties of the QP and, more importantly, how the QP must work with others to ensure that those duties and responsibilities are performed in the best interests of the company, the patient and society. This course will help you to understand what the QP must do themselves and what can/must be delegated to others, it will provide advice on how the QP should work in tandem with professionals in other departments, and will stress the non-technical “people” skills that are essential to being a good QP.
About This Course
The role and duties of the QP are constantly changing and the revision of EU GMP Annex 16 introduces some significant new expectations. It is, therefore, essential that QPs keep up to date. This course covers these new challenges in detail to help you understand them and their impact.
Of paramount importance is the ability to focus on the broad issues of managing quality and to bring these issues together in a cohesive way when making decisions to certify medicinal products. Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to test your skills via interactive “release or reject” scenarios.
The course will also include a simulation of a typical UK QP assessment interview as conducted by the three professional bodies.
This course is approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry as suitable for their members’ continuing professional development.
