Quality in the Life cycle of a drug product
1. Goal of the training
This course will provide an overview of the different phases in the life cycle of a pharmaceutical product. The participants will learn how a pharmaceutical product is developed, how the quality aspects of the product are established & maintained. Also the role of authorities, legislation & inspections in safeguarding pharmaceutical quality will be explained. The training will provide insights in the different aspects of the product lifecycle that work together to build quality into the product and to secure it throughout the product’s life span. It will also answer any questions the participants might have on the how and the why of processes & activities supporting the quality assurance during the product life cycle. Most importantly this training will help them understand their role in this process.
2. Added value
This training will give you a broad background on Quality in drug manufacturing and enable you to understand the bigger scope. The training is given by , a senior Pharmaceutical expert with an extensive expertise in the life sciences industry. During the training practical cases and questions can be discussed. Extra coaching can be planned to discuss the trainee experiences and challenges in the field after the training.
