Training Overview

Deviations occur across the pharmaceutical and device industries nearly every day. Hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars are spent to address deviations. Yet with all of the investment to investigate deviations, identify their causes and implement corrective actions, both personnel and management are frustrated as the same problems recur. For nearly 25 years, FDA and other regulators have annually cited failure in problem investigation systems within the top 5 of all observations issued.

 So, what are we doing wrong? This seminar will discuss the reasons for deviation failures and provide solutions for success. 

Why Should You Attend

One of the top 5 issues annually identified by FDA and other regulatory agencies during inspections is deviations. In this webinar, we explore why are we continuing to be cited, fail to solve our problems and create documentation that fails to satisfy auditors and inspectors. We will discuss what we can do differently to change this cycle and more importantly, bring true resolution to problems.
