Audits form a critical role in assessing the compliance and effectiveness of quality systems. All pharmaceutical organisations need strong auditing systems for both internal and external (supplier and contractor) activities and also need to be ready for audits (inspections) by regulatory agencies.
This meeting looks at various facets of auditing from both the auditor and auditee perspective. Get your 2023 professional development off to a strong start with presentations from a number of highly experienced quality professionals and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and network.
Come along for a full day meeting on “Facets of Auditing” with a great team of speakers including Dominic Parry (Inspired Pharma) who will help you to get the most out of your auditing; Richard Brett (recently retired from GSK) on internal audits; Richard Andrews (EPIC) on sustainable compliance; Dave Waddington (NSF) on the challenges and opportunities of remote auditing; Dave Thompson (Clarity Compliance Solutions) on Data Integrity auditing. There will also be an update from Iain Moore on EXCiPACT
