2012 - Live webinar on Effective SOP Writing To Be FDA Compliant By Compliance2go

Why should you Attend:

Learn and understand the regulatory expectations for, and the proper design and maintenance of effective and compliant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Description of the topic:

The lack of or inadequate standard operating procedures (SOPs) continues to dominate the FDA's inspectional observations. In 2010, they accounted for over 10% of the total drug observations, lagging only behind the Quality Unit concerns. SOPs are often used as training tools and as such, they need to be easily understood by all those whom they affect. Effective SOPs are not only a regulatory requirement; they also make good business sense. Too many times employees fail to follow SOPs because they can't understand them, and too many times we've seen procedures being constantly revised. This leads to lengthy and expensive investigations and costly revisions. In this webinar you will learn how to create and review SOPs, and generate a system for training and implementation of effective and compliant written procedures.

1. Why we need written procedures.
