FDAnews Announces Leading the Climb: Seven Essentials of GMP

Online, July 25, 2013 (Newswire.com) - What Do Mountain Climbing and GMPs Have in Common?

In both, it's safer and easier if you have the necessary technical and leadership skills. Leading the Climb: Seven Essentials of GMP is an advanced two-day workshop led by an instructor with more than 25 years of pharmaceutical industry experience. Those who will benefit include employees with supervisory/management responsibilities and others working in quality, compliance, training and staff/technical positions. The training covers GMP expectations in the U.S., Canada, Europe and the World Health Organization (WHO).

An Interactive Seminar that Builds on Real-World Lessons

The curriculum is designed to carefully reflect the latest revised FDA enforcement data and warning letters. It employs a unique LearningPlus video that builds on the analogy of mountain climbing by showing two experienced guides taking a new climber on an ice ascent in the Canadian Rockies. It guides participants through role modeling, systems thinking, coaching and feedback. Participants will use and keep a resource book containing a variety of regulatory reference documents, warning letters, and articles. In addition, a riveting case study illustrates the business, personal and financial impact of not meeting GMPs.

The 7 Essentials You Will Learn to Successfully Implement:

1) Protect the product from contamination
2) Prevent mixups
3) Know why, how and what you are doing before you do it
4) Document all activities
5) Strive for consistency and control - qualification, validation and change management
6) Have management that supports an independent group that makes final decisions on documents, product release and quality
7) Learn from mistakes and solve problems while continuing to monitor and improve
