Thinking Outside of the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) Box Training Course

  • Training

  • 2 Days
  • IPI Academy
  • ID: 6031562
OFF until Aug 13th 2025

When you look at the bigger picture, it is possible to see that Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), which we have difficulty in implementing from time to time, can actually be evaluated from different perspectives which can provide insight that gains even more value for your GMP processes and application This training course has been specially prepared to serve exactly this purpose.

In the rush to fully meet technological developments in the pharmaceutical industry, together with the expectations of the health authorities; updated and evolving guidelines; and the needs of the end-user patient, the emphasis on  complying with the GMP regulations and guidelines is becoming increasingly important. In this GMP training course, the topics will be examined with a very different perspective, enabling you to refresh your existing knowledge and gain new expertise on the subject. After the sessions, your GMP knowledge will be enhanced with scenario studies and bonus complementary documents which will be given in addition to the training programme and will aid your application of the new learnt techniques to the work place.
