    Description

    The Training

    This training provides insight into an integrated approach on quality management as a good business practice in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries and hospitals to safeguard the quality of their products. There will be a focus on the role and responsibilities of the Qualified Person (QP) as well as on legislation, guidelines and best practices. We will also discuss common challenges a QP encounters in his/her day-to-day activities. You will participate in a team to work out a case study in the period between the first and second training sessions.
     
    The Qualified Person watches over product quality while taking patient safety and product availability into account. This requires an in-depth understanding of the role and responsibilities of the Qualified Person. Previously organized by PAO Farmacie, now by PCS Academy. This training is divided into two parts:

    The total duration is five days.

    This training is of an advanced level. A basic level of GMP knowledge is required to attend this training. The training program is not designed to address the basic theoretical principles of GMP.The practical implication of the GMP principles, real-life cases and the role of the QP are the focus of this training.

    Review:

    - Leuk als overal workshops/study cases worden ingebouwd met focus op de rol van de QP: wat zou jij doen? (grey area's) - Het zou prettig zijn als er iets meer ruimte was om tussendoor even naar buiten te gaan; het was wel erg lang stil zitten. Wat dat betreft helpt de locatie (tussen snelweg en spoor) ook niet helemaal mee. Overigens op zich wel heel mooie locatie hoor. - Het Engels van diverse sprekers was wel voor verbetering vatbaar. Jammer als dit ten koste gaat van de diepgang. - Stuk over legislation zou ik iets anders opzetten; was nu wat lastiger te volgen. Duidelijk zou moeten worden wat er als QP van je verwacht wordt en waar dat te vinden is. Als je daarmee begint, zou je ook al een doorkijkje kunnen geven naar onderwerpen die later behandeld worden zoals bijvoorbeeld de QP declaration. Dan krijgt de dag ook al meteen meer samenhang. Anna-Myra Koopmans vond ik heel prettig in de omgang en kwam ook heel kundig over. Presentatie mag hier en daar best wat duidelijker en overtuigender gebracht worden. Ik vond dat bij Jolanda Muurman een hele mooie balans was tussen even kort de inhoud herhalen en dan een verdiepende workshop. Hier kreeg ik energie van. Het stuk over validatie was echt te lang. Jammer dat een presentatie dan afgekapt moet worden. Een workshop was hier ook leuk geweest. Eric van Wensveen deed veel moeite om het verhaal aanspreekbaar te maken en heeft heel veel kennis en interessante verhalen, maar op een gegeven moment werd het ook iets te veel een toneelstukje (OOS) en dat vond ik tekort doen aan de inhoud. Het werd er een beetje ongemakkelijk van. Het verhaal van Tjitske Veenbaas ging erg in op de verschillen tussen industrie en ziekenhuis, maar ik zou ook willen benadrukken dat het voorraad stuk wel steeds meer naar de industrie toe groeit. Het stuk over ATMP zou ook wat uitgebouwd kunnen worden. Misschien is het ook een idee om een QA/QP uit een ziekenhuis hierover iets te laten vertellen. Tjitske ken ik goed en heeft natuurlijk veel kennis, maar dan met name over het productie en individuele stuk. Desiree Vendrig zou wat meer inleiding kunnen geven aan wat een QP declaration nu precies is. Verder wel heel prettig kundig verhaal. Ik heb wat meer moeite genomen voor de evaluatie omdat het voor jullie de eerste keer was en actief vroegen hoe het verbeterd kan worden. Mijn bedoeling is om jullie daarmee te helpen en niet alleen om te bekritiseren. Ik heb echt een leuke en leerzame twee dagen gehad en ben benieuwd naar de volgende drie.
