Objectives

During this Live Online Training you will get to know the principles of Good Documentation Practices in the light of Data Integrity requirements. You will learn
  • How to control blank forms and templates
  • How to maintain Data Integrity for physical, hybrid and electronic records
  • How to establish a compliant and pragmatic change control process
  • How poor documentation practices and falsification can be detected
  • How to train staff in Good Documentation Practice and Data Integrity
  • How multilingual documents can be managed and controlled
  • How to avoid typical documentation failures
Experts will show what you need to consider to maintain GMP compliant documentation systems throughout their life cycle.

Background

Despite numerous regulatory guidelines poor documentation practice has become more and more a global problem and in most cases it leads to severe violations of Data Integrity principles. The citations regarding Data Integrity issues in FDA warning letters have been increasing dramatically over the past 3 years and also European Regulatory Agencies are concerned about Data Integrity failures in poor documentation not only in companies located in far East but also within Europe.

Both FDA and UK’s MHRA have reacted to this situation by issuing guidances containing clear provisions regarding Data Integrity and documentation e.g. FDA’s CPG objective 3 which covers the laboratory Data Integrity audit or MHRA’s Guidance for Industry on Data Integrity. Also WHO has published a guidance which provides provisions for data governance and contains expectations for records in both paper and electronic forms.

Target Group

This Live Online Training is designed for Managers and staff from Manufacturing, QC/QA and Analytical Development Laboratories of pharmaceutical companies and API manufacturers. Laboratory and QA personnel from Contract Research Organisation and Contract Manufacturing Organisations as well as Auditors responsible for performing self-inspections or external audits will also benefit from this Live Online Training.

Technical Requirements

For our Live Online Trainings and Webinars, we use Cisco WebEx, one of the leading suppliers of online meetings.

At http://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html you can check if your system meets the necessary requirements for the participation at a WebEx meeting and at the same time install the necessary plug-in.  Please just enter your name and email address for the test. If the installation is not possible because of your rights for the computer system, please contact your IT department. WebEx is a standard nowadays and the necessary installation is fast and easy.
