As a QP or quality assurance professional working in this challenging area, are you aware of the current and planned changes around the manufacture of investigational medicinal products (IMPs)? This highly interactive IMP training course makes sure you are up to date.
Our course focuses on the quality systems and the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) interface from the QP or quality leader’s perspective. More specifically, the QP’s duties and challenges in protecting trials, volunteers and patients. Led by former IMP expert inspectors, QPs and current consultants, this course adds value to QPs, auditors and those working in clinical trial supply.
This course is delivered in person at a hotel venue in York, UK.
This investigational medicinal products course is approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry as suitable for their members’ continuing professional development.
CPD Hours: 24 hours
