Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients - QP Module

Royaume-Uni, Newcastle upon Tyne

Course overview :

This course gives a unique insight into the regulatory expectations associated with producing both chemically synthesized APIs and biological/biotech APIs. Delegates will practice interpretation of the key API regulations and see them in operation during visits to two API manufacturing facilities. This course fulfils the requirements of the Qualified Person Study Guide and we don’t just train to pass a viva, we take the time to prepare you for your career ahead. The course also provides insight and expertise on managing global API supply chains, vendor quality assurance and “how to audit” API facilities.
 

Benefits :

As API supply chains become ever more diverse and cost pressures more acute, the pharma manager needs a keen appreciation of risk factors, design, control and monitoring of API sources. This course allows delegates to differentiate between natural variation and risk across a range of API processes, indicating the most appropriate and proportionate actions to take to mitigate any areas of concern.

It provides practical guidance on the key responsibilities of the Qualified Person when approving a GMP declaration, how to meet 2004/27/ EC, how to manage change of API source, how to audit and how to provide oversight of remote or contract manufacturing capabilities.

Remember too, our detailed educational material grows into a lifelong reference library.


Course content :

For both chemically and biologically produced APIs, the course includes : 

  • Common process steps and their effect on the quality of the final drug substance
  • EU and US regulatory requirements
  • Comparison and contrast of API facilities
  • How GMP is implemented across the key production processes
  • Common sources of GMP non-conformance and adulteration or misbranding
  • Vendor assurance, management of supply chains and auditing of facilities by QA or QPs – scope, execution and follow-up of audits
  • Visits to state of the art facilities and discussions with on-site pharma professionals

A Unique Opportunity to Visit API Manufacturing Sites: The course will include visits to local state-of-the-art API manufacturing facilities putting into practical perspective the key issues discussed in the lectures.

This course is now four and a half days in duration and includes detailed guidance on “how to audit API facilities”. This course is also RSC Approved.
