Morning 08:30 – 12:00
Best Practices for Deviation Management
This short course will review key requirements for handling deviations and GMP investigations in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical operations. Applying risk-based approaches and triaging methodologies will ensure time is devoted to the most important and sensitive investigations. Best practices for deviation management are reviewed and discussed. The input is invaluable to individuals managing and/or seeking to improve their company deviation handling systems.

Best Practices for CAPA Management
CAPA systems can overwhelm a facility if not well managed. This course will review key components of a well-managed CAPA system. System weakness will be reviewed along with measures which will tell you whether your CAPA system is functioning for company benefit. Regulatory expectations for CAPA systems are highlighted along with methodologies for appropriate effectiveness checks.
The instructors have been closely involved in deviation handling and system improvement and have interfaced with agency inspectors on a variety of difficult investigations and challenging CAPAs. Case studies are used to facilitate discussing best practices in deviation and CAPA management.
Discussion and Working Groups
A significant proportion of the course time will be devoted to group work, where delegates have the opportunity, through case studies, to put theory into practice.
Additionally, discussion periods, provide delegates with an opportunity to obtain answers to their specific questions and concerns.
