Attend this interactive course to gain a valuable introduction to pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and key responsibilities, essential for those in support or interactive roles.
Navigating the complexities of regulatory processes, particularly in the context of evolving legislation, can be challenging. This is where an understanding of pharmaceutical regulatory affairs is important.
This interactive course is designed for professionals in support or interactive roles, offering a valuable introduction to pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and their key responsibilities.
Participants will gain an overview of current and proposed changes to EU legislation and regulatory procedures necessary to register products in the EU and the regulatory activities required to maintain products on the market. The UK is no longer a member of the EU but interactions and collaboration with the EU and other regulatory agencies for obtaining and maintaining marketing authorisations in the UK will be discussed.
This course aims to enhance understanding of the role of regulatory affairs, enabling support staff to perform more effectively and efficiently.
Interactive discussion sessions and practical case studies will help to consolidate learning, providing attendees with the skills and knowledge to be effective in their roles within the pharmaceutical industry.
This course is part of our Regulatory Affairs Training course collection, which features updates on the latest regulations to registration procedures and strategies.
This course is designed for personnel wishing to gain an understanding of regulatory affairs in the pharmaceutical industry, including:
It will also be of value to those who interface with the regulatory affairs function or support regulatory procedures and activities.

I hope to gain a basic understanding of Reg affairs, I think for myself the course was perhaps aimed at a slightly higher knowledge base than I have to be able to fully appreciate the course.

I was a bit worried about not having a face-to-face course and discussions but it worked very well, it was really comfortable to do it from my home and we had no major connectivity issues.

A lot of information was provided. It is now up to us to dig a bit further the different areas. Speaker was a great professional in Regulatory Affairs. As a new comer in this area, I found it sometimes difficult to cope with all abbreviations (though the course included a glossary, it takes time to go back to it and in the meanwhile the training has moved forward). I am satisfied with this training.

Highly recommended course for anyone wishing to learn more about their involvement within the regulatory affairs team at your particular company. The speaker, Norah, was very effective in her presentations and included each delegate and was able to highlight how certain areas were specific to them.
