NOTE: This course focuses primarily on Pharmaceutical and Biologic GMP Inspections, though much of the information is also applicable to Medical Device Inspections and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Inspections.

The various health regulatory authorities (FDA, EMA, TGA, etc.) all carry out their surveillance and enforcement activities via inspections, which may be pre-announced or unannounced in some cases. Companies must carefully prepare for these inspections, and manage them well when regulatory authorities are on site. As health authorities, the agencies have important work to do and certain rights of access to areas and records, but the company also has rights. To understand the system and prepare and manage inspections effectively requires knowledge.

Though different in some respects, the FDA, EMA and TGA have been working together for the past few years to better understand each other's methodologies for inspections, to learn from one another via the conduct of simultaneous inspections and to endeavor to harmonize their approach to the extent feasible.

This program will examine the methods employed by the FDA, EMA and TGA to conduct inspections; review publicly available documents from these agencies that describe their processes; and suggest best practices companies should follow when hosting inspections on their premises.

Interactive discussions of case studies will be interspersed at various points during both days to illustrate the concepts discussed.
