Training overview

The introduction in recent years of the concept of Quality Risk Management inside GMP guidelines has caused a change in the regulatory requirements for the pharmaceutical industry. Starting from the analysis of these important changes and the “ICH Q9 – Quality Risk Management” guideline, aim of the training “Pharmaceutical Risk Assessment: techniques and applications” will be to illustrate to the attendees the process of Quality Risk Management and all its phases: Risk Assessment, Risk Control, Risk Review and Risk Communication. The most widely used Risk Assessment techniques (Fishbone, Root Cause Analysis, FMEA, FTA, Risk Ranking and Filtering) will be examined and framed in the contexts in which they are most commonly applied. Emphasis will be put on making the attendee sufficiently familiar with these tools to help him tackle real life situations. To this end, the expert will showcase some case studies to better underline how to correctly put theory in practice.
