Course Overview

In today’s highly regulated pharma, biotech, device and animal health industries, it is essential to use the most efficient processes and ensure compliance with an active corrective and preventive action (CAPA) system.

CAPA procedures are a frequent focus of regulatory inspectors and evidence will be required at any future inspections that CAPA actions have been implemented.

This course will provide you with an understanding of how to improve your processes and implement and document an effective CAPA quality system. The programme will include discussion of CAPA examples and case studies to enhance course learning.

Benefits of attending:
  • Understand CAPA methodology and documentation
  • Learn tools and techniques to help make your existing processes more efficient and compliant
  • Discover how you can address inspection findings using CAPA and process improvement
  • Share best practice for CAPA

This course is part of our Regulatory Affairs Training course collection, which features updates on the latest regulations to registration procedures and strategies.

Who Should Attend?

This course has been specifically designed for those working in the pharma, biotech, device or animal health industries who are involved in process improvement and CAPA requirements.

Really useful refresher on CAPA and the processes used. It has helped me prioritise and categorise CAPA types, and I found particularly useful the section on risk scoring and utilising the risk register for those classified as minor.
