Pharmaceutical Microbiology Workshop Day

SAE Media Group is proud to present the Pharmaceutical Microbiology Workshop Day...

How to Develop a Risk Based Approach to Cleaning and Disinfection:

This workshop will cover the current industry trends and best practices in disinfectant global regulations, rotation, disinfectant application methods, application frequencies, residue removal and rinsing strategies, disinfectant validation and a case study in bioburden control will be covered. CAPA investigations related to contamination control in cleanroom operations will be covered. Annex I (Draft 2018), FDA Warning Letters, FDA 483s, and PDA Technical Report No. 70 sections will be covered which relate to the topics mentioned.
The workshop will focus on industry trends and industry best practices based on 20 years of global industry experiences.
 

Designing an Environmental Monitoring Programme:

Environmental monitoring has a very limited capability of providing assurance of good hygiene control, therefore it must be optimised, based upon a risk assessment. The workshop will provide information regarding the contamination challenges from the environment, operators, equipment failure and design limitations. In addition, the workshop will discuss the monitoring techniques and instruments used to generate the data and will involve some practical exercises. At the end of the workshop, the delegates will have a clear understanding of the limitations and strengths of environmental monitoring and how to design and execute the monitoring programme.

Rapid Micro Methods, Endotoxin Testing and LER:

The control of objectionable microorganisms and endotoxins in pharmaceutical products is vital to ensure the complete safety from diverse immune reactions associated with exposure. As products become more complex, rapid micro methods and alternative endotoxin testing and LER become more routine and significant, which suggests continuous assessment and validation. This workshop will start with a revision of the current regulatory landscape set by the authorities such as FDA and EMA. Following this will be an examination of the most robust RMMs, the pros and cons associated, and prescribed implementation and validation strategies. The 2nd half of the workshop will survey and compare routine endotoxin testing methods with proposed alternatives. The workshop finishes off with an expert view of how to address LER and a means of evaluating contamination risk.

Designing and Environmental Monitoring Programme: Regulatory History

• A brief introduction to history of the regulations governing the manufacture of sterile parenteral products and providing some examples of regulatory findings with regard to non-compliance.
• Delegates should leave with a clear understanding of the very important but subtle difference between written regulatory guidance and regulatory expectations and the legal framework supporting the regulatory environment.

Environmental Monitoring In Context

• This session will focus on the limitations of environmental monitoring and discuss the fundamental aims of using EM to provide a level of assurance that good aseptic control is being maintained. Stress will be placed on the need for good design and operations of a facility to give credence to EM data and decisions that may result from that data interpretation.

Design of An Environmental Monitoring Programme

• This will be a fully interactive session which will involve designing an environmental monitoring programme based on a generic facility design using risk assessment. A range of props will be provided and delegates will be on their feet for most of the time working in small teams.
• This workshop will enable delegates to leave with an understanding of the strengths and limitations of an environmental monitoring programme and how to design one. It will put the data generated into a regulatory compliance context.

WHAT IS CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

GLOBAL CPD

Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
