Course overview
This full‑day masterclass goes beyond the fundamentals of ICH Q9(R1) and focuses on how to operationalise the revised guideline in real‑world GMP environments. Participants will learn how to transform QRM from a compliance activity into a strategic, data‑driven decision‑making framework that strengthens product availability, contamination control, and organisational resilience.
The course blends practical exercises, scenario‑based workshops, and interactive simulations to help teams apply the new principles of subjectivity reduction, uncertainty management, proportionality, and lifecycle‑integrated risk thinking.
This programme is ideal for organisations seeking to modernise their QRM systems, align with evolving regulatory expectations, and prepare for the digital future of risk management.
