GCP audit and inspection course
Overview :
This GCP auditing course is designed to provide practical training resulting in a harmonised, common audit methodology in Europe. The ICH GCP guideline implemented in the EU, Japan and the USA is being widely incorporated into guidelines worldwide. Systems audits, previously seen as “advanced auditing”, have become a basic task of many audit groups and are an essential element of inspections in Europe.
The course material is regularly updated with the objective of experience sharing and a common professional approach in order to pave the way for mutual recognition and acceptance, reducing costs and stimulating efficiency, allowing faster medicinal product development to the benefit of the patients and health care.
Key Topics
Regulatory framework EU and ICH
Quality management, defining quality, risk-based approach to audit and inspection

This book provides a step-by-step explanation of the FDA audit procedures for clinical trials and of how pharmaceutical companies, clinical investigators, and institutional review boards should prepare for regulatory audits.
The book emphasizes the processes and procedures that should be implemented before a clinical audit occurs, making this an imperative guide to any professional in the drug manufacturing industry, including drug manufacturing companies, regulatory affairs personnel, clinical investigators, and quality assurance professionals.
