It is therefore essential that they are well written and easy to use by the end-users. If SOPs are not followed correctly, the validity of data generated is compromised, leading to inspection findings and non compliance issues which could lead to delays in bringing a drug/device to market. This SOP course has been specifically designed to help you develop the skills to write, produce the content of SOPs, review and implement SOPs and in particular to be able to comply in a regulated environment. It is essential therefore to have a number of SOPs, and for existing SOPs to be reviewed and updated regularly. Otherwise this is likely to result in major findings by regulatory inspectors. Participants will come away with the confidence to use a process to write, update and implement SOPs which can easily be used by the end users. WHO SHOULD ATTEND • • • All those in Pharma, Biotechnology, Devices and Veterinary industries who will be or are involved in preparing, reviewing and/or managing SOPs Ideal as an introduction to preparing, reviewing and implementing SOPs and may also be helpful to those wanting to ensure they are aware of best practice Particularly those in GXP areas including clinical research, pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs and GMP u Introduction and Objectives uHow to Write Concise and User Friendly SOPs • When are SOPs needed and why? • What is the difference between having SOPs and work instructions/local guidance? • Format, content, style and presentation • Translation of the activities into the SOPs • Writing sufficiently detailed SOPs, but which are not restrictive • Defining SOP content using mind mapping and flow charting • Review and approval processes for SOPs 8 July 2014 COURSE LEADER INTRODUCTION COURSE LEADER Dr Laura Brown is an Independent Pharmaceutical QA and training Consultant and the Course Director for the MSc Clinical Research, School of Pharmacy, University of Cardiff. Laura is a recognised expert in QA and training. She has more than 19 years experience in the pharmaceutical industry in a number of senior roles and has worked for several companies, including GlaxoWellcome, Hoechst Marion Roussel, Farmitalia and Phoenix International. She has worked in several Quality Assurance roles which have included writing and reviewing SOPs and has helped companies implement the regulatory requirements of changes in regulations. In today’s highly regulated Pharma, Device and Veterinary industries, it is essential to use the most efficient processes and ensure compliance with Corrective and Preventative Action (CAPA). Regulatory Inspectors are increasing reviewing responses to findings dealt with by the CAPA approach and process improvement. Dr Laura Brown is an Independent Pharmaceutical QA and training Consultant and the Course Director for the MSc Clinical Research, School of Pharmacy, University of Cardiff. IN-HOUSE COURSE This seminar is also available as an in-house course, and can if required be tailored to your specific needs.

If previous major findings have not been addressed then a critical finding may be given. This course will be ideal for you to learn how to improve industry procedures and processes and how to implement and document an effective CAPA quality system. WHO SHOULD ATTEND The course has been specifically designed for the Pharma, Biotechnology, Devices and Veterinary industries and particularly if you are involved in process improvement, corrective and preventative action, problem solving and managing inspections and documenting how to deal with these.
