If you hold responsibilities related to pharmaceutical product quality or GMP compliance, it is crucial to grasp both your legal and ethical obligations. Achieving a thorough understanding of these obligations necessitates familiarity with the regulatory environment, the Pharmaceutical Quality System's intent and requirements, and the current Good Manufacturing Practice as outlined by PIC/S.

Through the utilization of case studies and examples derived from industry and consulting experiences, participants will gain insights into these requirements and how to implement them in their manufacturing environments. The emphasis will be on ensuring product quality and preventing adulteration and misbranding.
