Description
This module introduces the regulatory requirement for GMP & compliance auditing, and the tools required by an effective auditor. It introduces quality risk assessment/management, CAPA and change control theory and practice. Additionally, this course outlines the various aspects of process and support systems validation utilised in pharmaceutical facilities. It will deal with the various risks inherent in pharmaceutical processing technologies and how the application of effective validation methodologies assists in the control and management of such risks.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Interpret and explain the relevance of auditing as a means of monitoring the production of safe and efficacious pharmaceutical products in a GMP environment.
2.
Describe the various auditing techniques available and the regulatory basis for GMP/compliance auditing and describe the concept of calibration, Identify, assess and analyse breaches of GMP, change control and select appropriate CAPA activities
3.
Describe the key elements and methodologies utilised for validation with particular emphasis on pharmaceutical processes and the product life cycle including CPP & CQA.
4.
Outline the overall concept of risk management and how the application of risk assessment and management tools can enable these risks to be gauged and managed.
5.
Identify the main steps involved in the qualification of pharmaceutical equipment, integrating processing equipment, cleaning systems, filtration systems, ancillary service facilities and utilities such as cleanrooms, sterilisation and Purified water systems..
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered full time. This will include lectures, augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address student learning needs. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a potential means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals).
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 100% Continuous Assessment.
The continuous assessment and course work will involve several assignments/case studies where students will be required to (i) demonstrate an understanding of core module concepts, and (ii) presentations on topics which demonstrates the student's ability to critically evaluate an aspect of the subject area.
formative assessment - Self-assessment tests and other forms of formative assessment are provided to students to check their own progress towards achieving the learning outcomes of the module and to motivate learning.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat Continuous Assessment.

While FDA regulations, cGMP, GLP, GCP, and the industry standard ISO 9000 require that documentation be established and followed, they do not provide guidelines on how to produce that documentation. Pharmaceutical Equipment Validation gives details on how to demonstrate compliance, what data to use, and how to produce the appropriate documentation. This book's user-friendly diagrams and other clear graphics illustrate key ideas throughout each protocol, offering a bird's-eye view of what is coming next-and they quickly guide you through the equipment validation. The author provides a thorough understanding of how to prepare, test, and complete equipment qualification protocols. He also explains how to perform qualification testing and whether to test the equipment for a worst case scenario. No other book deals exclusively with the key issues of equipment qualification and process validation for pharmaceutical process equipment-and provides instructions on how to achieve it. With pragmatic approach, this book includes 38 useful protocol templates, already completed, that provide instant answers to most protocol writing and testing questions. These templates cover specific equipment types, such, and provide accurate, industry acceptable equipment qualification protocols. Step-by-step, they show how to qualify each piece of equipment, and they provide a check for readers own protocols.
