Principles of Clinical Quality Assurance Audits

A two days Certifying Virtual Open Training by the Quality Working Party

Description

Event Training
Type Virtual Event
Language English
Date(s) 12 & 13 Dec 2022
Day(s) 2 Day(s)
Duration 8 Hours / Day

This introduction to the Principles of Clinical Quality Assurance Auditing has been developed to cover the principles of GCP and how they can be applied to clinical trial audits in consideration of both computerised systems and data integrity.

This interactive on-line workshop is developed and hosted by three experienced leading quality professionals, with broad experience of clinical trials in Europe, the UK and USA.

With a primary focus on European and UK requirements over two days, delegates will be given the opportunity to understand GCP legislation and how it can be applied to individual audits and audit programmes using a risk-based approach. The course includes both points to consider for face-to-face audits and those conducted remotely.

As few clinical trials are successfully completed today without the use of electronic data capture systems and data collection tools, the workshop includes an introduction to computerised system validation and points to consider during routine clinical trials audits, as well as an overview of data integrity and application of GXP Data Integrity Guidance.
