Objectives

The EU-GDP Guidelines highlight the need for an effective quality management system and appropriate controls for all partners and service providers in the distribution chain (like manufacturers, wholesalers, warehouses and transport and logistics providers).
 
But who needs to audit which service provider - and how? And who will be inspected by the authorities? And how can I prepare myself?

In this live online training course you will learn
  • How to plan and conduct audits efficiently
  • How to prepare yourself when being audited
  • How to face the various challenges
  • What communication techniques are needed
  • How you can avoid and solve conflicts

Background

Qualification of partners, like for example with audits, is a core element to implement the GDP requirements.

Initial and continuous professional training for auditors is of utmost importance as the authorities expect highly qualified personal performing audits. Therefore, the ECA has developed the programme at hand to give you a detailed overview about important matters to consider and to discuss important tasks and challenges of GDP audits.

On the other hand, you will learn how to prepare your company to pass an inspection or customer audit and how to assure the most positive outcome.

Target Group

This education course is designed for all managers, supervisors and other staff members who are involved in audits of pharmaceutical storage, transportation, cold chain and distribution activities.
