Quality Risk Management Training
About This Course
Updated to reflect the 2023 Revision 1 of ICH Q9, this interactive training course provides you with a thorough understanding of quality risk management as set out in ICH Q9. We explore the full extent of the approach and practice the most commonly used tools and techniques to improve your decision-making skills, and better protect your company and your patients by addressing both proactive and reactive risk management.
We show you how to take a structured, risk-based approach to quality management to enable a science- and data-based approach toward the business, enabling a detailed process understanding to allow establishing control strategies. We explore the best practice approaches including risk perspectives and incorporating risk in the pharmaceutical quality system.
We start with underlying facilitation methods and tools such as flowcharts, process mapping, and cause and effect diagrams (also called Ishikawa or fish bone diagrams). We then consider the statistical tools that enable effective data assessment, aid in determining the significance of the data set(s) and facilitate more reliable decision-making, including control charts to turn data into information.
We introduce the less frequently used tools and their applicability, and explore real-life scenarios and case studies using the most commonly used techniques of failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)
Our virtual instructor-led training will be delivered through live instructor-led virtual classrooms. Full details will be sent to you following registration.
