A Comparison of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Good Manufacturing Practices - A Study of Similarities and Differences - Webinar By GCPanel 2011

Overview: As a quality professional, you desire to have the very best quality system that operates effectively, efficiently and conforms to the appropriate quality standards to meet customer and user needs.

You are also aware that there is a paradigm shift from an emphasis on compliance to an emphasis on quality based systems. An understanding of this paradigm shift can be gained by comparing the compliance based Pharmaceutical GMPs with the Medical Device Quality System Regulation. ICH-Q7A will be included because it is a cross between the quality and compliance approach.

This webinar will explore differences and similarities between these GMPs as well as show how they relate to other quality systems, regional regulations, and guidance documents. Examples include ICH, GHTF, ISO particularly ISO 13485 as well as European quality requirements. The considerable use of graphical techniques will enhance this learning experience. Questions are strongly encouraged.
