Sterilisation Course: Principles in Practice®(Virtual)
About the pharmaceutical sterilisation courses: According to the EU GMP Guide Annex 1, the manufacture of sterile products is subject to special requirements in order to minimise the risks of contamination, with much depending on the skill, training and attitudes of the personnel involved. In particular, managing sterilisation processes is critical to the manufacture of both terminally sterilised and aseptically prepared products.
This Pharmaceutical Sterilisation training: Principles in Practice® provides delegates with a comprehensive understanding of moist heat and dry heat sterilisation processes from theoretical foundation through to the practical aspects of validation and biological indicators. The sterilisation course highlights the GMP requirements and current industry expectations for the routine operation, monitoring and control of sterilisation processes and gives practical examples of how these techniques are applied through appropriate engineering to ensure reliability in full compliance with all European and US regulatory requirements.
This is a highly practical sterilisation course based on our knowledge within the industry which includes case studies, workshops and practical examples designed to allow our delegates to put the principles into practice.
