The FDA inspection was set for Monday morning and boy, and the manufacturer was ready. They’d collected all necessary documentation, spent time and money prepping SMEs, then war-roomed with the team into the wee hours. Yet here they are, looking at a decidedly lukewarm inspection report or even a Form 483.
What went wrong?
Communications, possibly. It’s the missing element to a great FDA inspection outcome. Yet surveys show more than half of people tasked with writing documents for FDA submission have never even taken a business writing course.
But clear, effective writing is crucial. If the investigator can’t understand what was done, why it was done or why it doesn’t jibe with expectations then the manufacturer might as well not have prepped at all.
Introducing an all-new industry-leading workshop that will help improve the outcome
This is not just any business writing course. It is the one and only targeted exclusively at the FDA. Attendees will learn a novel technique called the Writing for Compliance® Structured Document Process, a systematic approach to clear and effective communication. Discover:
- How clumsy writing turns off FDA investigators
- The difference between clumsy and artful
- The Structured Document Process path to clear, concise communications
- And much more!
Be ready for hard work. Over two more-than-full days, attendees will be reviewing real-world quality records, some terrific and some terrible. They will be writing plenty too, then facing tough but constructive critique. At the end, they will be able to rest easy on the eve of Inspection Day because they’ve answered all the right questions:
- What is the purpose of the document?
- Who is the audience, and does it stand on its own?
- Is the structure logical and organized?
- Is there both situational and technical context?
- Is the analysis correct?
- Are conclusions presented clearly?
- Will it stand up to independent review?
All attendees will receive a complete manual of all materials, along with the Writing for Compliance® Structured Document Rubric.
