Core content developed by biochemists and engineers during the start-up of a pharmaceutical plant

This program was developed on-site by a team of biochemists and senior chemical engineers, working within an engineering consultancy during the start-up of a new pharmaceutical plant to fill in the regulatory, risk management, GAMP, qualification, and validation gaps in knowledge of its own scientists and technicians.

You will write a technical report

You will write a 3,000-word technical report about the systems needed to consistently manufacture safe medicines and devices for patients. This is fundamental knowledge for any professional working in this sector
