How to Audit - Key Excipients

About this course

Many experienced auditors find they have to audit areas which they are unfamiliar with; in addition, experienced auditors should always be seeking opportunities to keep up-to-date through continuing professional development. As part of our ‘How to Audit’ series, providing hands-on practical courses for auditors who wish to improve skills and develop areas of expertise, we are delighted to announce that the ‘How to Audit - Key Excipients’ course will be run by Peter Monger, a former MHRA inspector and extremely experienced auditor. The course is designed to provide practical help and guidance to those engaged in the auditing of excipients.

Course outline

New directives and expectations place increasing pressures on companies to audit the entire supply chain of starting materials including excipients.

We will be running this highly interactive course with the following objectives:

• Remind auditors of the key legislation and guidance around auditing excipients, GMP, IPEC, ISO 9000
• What is the role of EXCiPACT™?
• How to construct an audit plan or agenda that works
• Working through case studies and audit observations to discuss the severity ranking and references to support findings
• What to do when time on site is limited, shared or impossible

As with all ‘How to Audit’ courses there will be plenty of opportunity for questions and answers as well as sharing best practice with fellow auditors.

Spaces are limited on the ‘How to Audit’ courses to maintain the interactivity and to ensure your questions are answered, so early booking is recommended.

“Very interesting course delivered exceptionally well.”

Sajeevan Nirmalananthan, Biocompatibles, UK

“An interesting and informative course that provides a practical approach on the application of GMP and IPEC guidance when performing audits of excipient suppliers. The course was very interactive and the course tutors provided good examples and were extremely knowledgeable.”

Kirsteen Scott, Eisai Manufacturing, UK

“Lots of background information on the subject to digest. A good balanced view from both sides of the fence; both the regulator “and cheerleader” providing expectations of the auditor and auditee.”

Chris Unwin, Dr Reddys Laboratories (UK)

“Enjoyed the course - learnt loads!”
