From Training to Learning Improving GMP Performance
Product Details
Last year it had to reject 14 lots of product due to contamination. So the company retrained its employees on aseptic technique and figured, problem solved. You can imagine Gibson's reaction when it was forced to reject 13 more contaminated lots this year.
These details come from a warning letter issued to Gibson. But they could easily apply to many drug, biologic, device or diagnostics firms. They could apply to you.
The risks go beyond warning letters. Regulated manufacturers face multi-million-dollar lawsuits for injury or death, plus huge costs to destroy the contaminated products.
And it often happens because, despite being trained, employees don't really understand what they've been taught.
Isn't it time to do some learning of your own — on how to change your training methods to improve GMP compliance and avoid unhappy situations like Gibson's?
Presented by LearningPlus and FDAnews, From Training to Learning: Improving GMP Performance is led by training expert James Vesper. This critical workshop thoroughly covers the best way to convey your GMP knowledge to your staff efficiently, accurately and effectively. Through a series of hands-on exercises, you'll develop and deliver a clear and concise GMP training program that will fully prepare your employees to handle GMP with confidence.
At From Training to Learning: Improving GMP Performance, you will:
- Examine training systems and programs at use in the pharma, medical device and other industries
- Identify current expectations that regulatory agencies and quality auditors have of training systems and programs
- Use a systematic approach to decide when training is — and isn't — a useful solution to deviations and problems
- Examine models that are used to efficiently design and produce training solutions that meet specific goals
- Design a training solution that would be suitable for "ongoing" or reinforcement training of operations, staff, technical and management personnel
- Discover how the way procedures are written can help — or hurt — training efforts
- Discuss 5 ways to assess individuals and evaluate training effectiveness
