Course overview

With increasing clinical quality standards required by inspectors, there is currently no harmonised regulatory guidance for clinical quality management systems (CQMS), although there are multiple documents from different sources across the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. The regulators however, both in Europe and the US, expect an effective QMS to be in place for clinical development. Organisations are struggling to effectively implement and integrate these QMS standards, including ISO 9000 principles, ICH10 for CQMS and ICH GCP R2 and R3 CQMS requirements.

This course will provide essential information and guidance to help you achieve regulatory compliance in this evolving area of clinical quality, including EMA guidance on computerised systems and ICH GCP R3 data governance.

Benefits of attending:

  • Understand developing regulatory requirements for clinical quality management systems (CQMS)
  • Review proposed CQMS framework
  • Consider best practice in key CQMS areas

Browse our extensive selection of Life Sciences training courses for industry-leading insights into a range of topics. These include Medical Devices, IVDs, Biotech and Biopharma, Animal Health and Pharmaceutical training courses.

Who will the course benefit?

This course is aimed at anyone working in clinical research or associated functions, including regulatory affairs and document management, who needs to know how to establish, maintain, monitor and improve a CQMS that focuses on product quality and compliance to GCP.

The programme will also be of value to those working in quality assurance and quality improvement roles in clinical research, management responsible for governance of CQMS and anyone working with or in clinical research who needs to comply with the new requirements for CQMS, including study sites.

It is ideal for those implementing a CQMS, those wanting to share best practice and anyone wanting an update on new developments in this area.
