Introduction to FDA Good Documentation Practices

Why Should You Attend:

Documentation is essential for good science. This is especially true in life sciences where FDA and other health authority regulations impose a special recordkeeping burden. In these industries, documentation serves both the scientific and compliance needs, and Good Documentation Practices (GDPs) are the set of activities that enable you to record your data and hand-written entries in a legible, traceable and reproducible manner.

This webinar will to introduce and explain the concept of Good Documentation Practices, and provide real-world examples of how to, and how not to, use GDPs.
