Advanced solid dose learning course makes GMP simple
know about demanding current good manufacturing practice (cGMP)
topics such as standard operating procedures (SOPs).
The course, titled 'Advanced GMP for Solid Dose Operators' and run by CompuPharma, is designed for those who have grasped the basics of GMP, for which the company also has a learning course, and now wish to explore more advanced issues such as SOPs, completing records, cleaning of equipment, Quality Control (QC) status and use of computers.
SOPs and records are critical in ensuring that operators are working in compliance with cGMP, so this course begins by explaining why SOPs must be followed in solid dose facilities and what information they should contain.
It also describes the proper completion of records in solid dose manufacturing including production records, equipment records, records of materials and laboratory sample records.
What is more, since proper labelling and cleaning of equipment are vital in avoiding mix-ups and product contamination, this course takes an in-depth look at both of these areas, placing emphasis on accurate labelling along with label distribution and reconciliation, while different equipment cleaning methods used in the pharmaceutical industry are also explored.
The course continues with cGMP in the warehouse and QC status of materials and products. The cGMP design requirements for manufacturing facilities are also examined with a focus on product flow, environmental controls, cleaning and sanitisation.
Finally, the basics of information technology and good computer practice are explained.
There is a 16 question assessment associated with each lesson within the course and a certificate service is also available in which users who achieve 100 per cent in the assessment associated with each lesson are deemed to have passed the course and are posted a certificate.
