One-day training on the review and improvement of batch documentation and smooth communication processes.
Practical GMP & GDP training for pharma and biotech professionals — taught by senior PCS consultants who advise manufacturers on real GMP issues every week.
Reviewing batch documentation does not always run smoothly. The number of errors found, ambiguities and discussions can push the moment of release further and further back. It is therefore essential to make clear agreements so that review and release proceed effectively and efficiently.
During this one-day training you will learn what it takes to carry out the review of batch documentation properly and to communicate constructively.
Who this course is for
This training is intended for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry who are responsible for reviewing, for example, batch records, analytical results and validations.
This includes staff in the following departments: QA, QC, production, registration and validation. The training is also suitable for those who wish to set up a sound and efficient batch review process.
If you're a pharmacist or hospital pharmacist interested in earning accreditation points by attending this training,
New Accreditation Request
Read the disclaimer and complete the form below.
Disclaimer
Please note that PCS will only submit an accreditation request to the relevant accreditation institutes if three or more pharmacists or hospital pharmacists have registered, submitted an accreditation request, or have a pending reservation for a training session.
Requesting accreditation is costly for PCS, both in time and money, with costs per request ranging between four and five hundred euros. We aim to avoid making such requests without sufficient reason. Therefore, we kindly ask you to carefully consider before requesting accreditation.
Accreditation is evaluated by the NVZA and KNMP based on multiple factors, and it is not clear in advance how many accreditation points will be granted. No rights can be derived from your accreditation request as a participant. There is a possibility that no accreditation will be granted at all.
PCS reserves the right not to submit an accreditation request for any reason, which may not be disclosed to the participant. PCS's decision in this regard is final. PCS is not liable for any losses or damages resulting from the failure to obtain accreditation. We reserve the right to change our accreditation policy at any time without prior notice.
Criteria
Only pharmacists and hospital pharmacists may request accreditation.
Deadline
Accreditation requests will only be processed if made more than four weeks before the start date of the training.

Human errors worden nog teveel als Rootcause aangeduid. Ik heb geleerd welke RCA tool het meest geschikt is voor een bepaalde deviatie en deviatie classificatie wordt bij ons bedrijf voor major en critical nog wel eens anders gebruikt.
