Note: All times mentioned are CET.
Why you should attend this Live Online Training:
- You will systematically be introduced to the principles and methods of the validation of computerised systems (according to GAMP®)
- You will learn the skills to plan, implement and document effectively validation activities for computerised systems and to assess them with respect to their GxP compliance
- In workshops / interactive sessions you can see how the theoretical foundations will apply practicable
Computerised systems are a central factor determining work sequences in the pharmaceutical industry. Their use increases product safety and saves time and costs of manual intervention. This creates the requirement and necessity, however, to validate all computerised systems which can influence the quality of pharmaceutical products.
The basis of the Live Online Training will be the current requirements for the validation of computerised systems like GAMP® and their GxP-oriented application in practice.
Experts from the pharmaceutical industry and from the GAMP® Committee will show you efficient ways to validate your computerised systems.
This Live Online Training is directed towards specialists and executives in the pharmaceutical industry entrusted with the planning, implementation and evaluation of the validation of computerised systems.
Technical Requirements
For our Live Online Training Courses and Webinars, we use Cisco WebEx, one of the leading suppliers of online meetings.
At
https://www.webex.com/testmeeting.html you can check if your system meets the necessary requirements for the participation at a WebEx meeting and at the same time install the necessary plug-in. Please just enter your name and email address for the test. If the installation is not possible because of your rights for the computer system, please contact your IT department. WebEx is a standard nowadays and the necessary installation is fast and easy.
