The Latest Updates in Global GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) In-house Training

Course overview

Many pharmaceutical manufacturers tend to describe GMP practices as the rules personnel must follow during production and the recording of production steps. However, GMP is a comprehensive set of standards in which every step of all processes, including pharmaceutical production and R&D activities throughout the product life cycle, is validated and documented.

Historical GMP failures have caused significant tragedies for many companies. Today, any country that prioritises patient health and safety permits the production, import, and sale of pharmaceutical products only in compliance with internationally recognised current GMP standards. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) is often referenced as cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) in alignment with FDA terminology. The ‘c’ in cGMP stands for ‘current,’ emphasising that these rules are continuously updated and dynamic, rather than following a ‘produce what is available’ approach. Health authorities remind manufacturers that staying up-to-date is a regulatory requirement.

This distinguished GMP Update training covers updates across all sections of the GMP Guide, incorporating innovations from EMA, PIC/S, FDA, WHO, ANVISA, MHRA, and other regulatory bodies. Participants will also explore the latest developments in concept papers, draft articles, and international GMP guidance, ensuring a complete and current understanding of global GMP expectations.
