Course overview

Document management and data integrity are a key focus of regulatory inspections, with both EU and FDA inspectors increasingly observing violations during GxP inspections. It has become a critical issue in document governance and regulators expect staff working in GxP roles to have been trained in this important area.

Ensuring data integrity is an important component of the pharma industry’s responsibility to guarantee the safety, efficacy, and quality of drugs. Violations relating to document management and data integrity have led to numerous regulatory actions, in- cluding warning letters and critical inspection findings. To address these concerns, the FDA, EMA, MHRA and the World Health Organization (WHO) have all recently published data integrity guidelines.

This concise course covers the background to data integrity, why it is important and how its requirements affect both paper-based and computer-based systems. The programme will include discussion of the latest MHRA data integrity guide and EMA TMF guideline that should be considered by organisations involved in any aspect of the GxP pharmaceutical lifecycle (GCP, GMP, GLP and GvP). You will gain an understanding of the requirements for ensuring data integrity, review data integrity inspection findings, and get practical advice on defining and implementing an appropriate data governance process for compliance with data integrity requirements.

Benefits of attending:

Understand the importance of data integrity and good document practice
Ensure you are compliant with the new EU trial master file (TMF) guideline
Be aware of key regulations and guidelines
Discuss QMS considerations for data integrity and document management
Review document management and data integrity inspections to facilitate regulatory compliance

The course is a basic guide to know about DI, to implement it is really a challenge. Overall the course was very useful. Friendliness of the Speaker made the entire session enjoyable.
