About
The GCP & GMP Regulatory Inspection Readiness training course by Whitehall Training provides a high-stakes foundation for navigating global oversight in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Grounded in the latest ICH E6(R3) and ICH Q10 standards, the course prepares professionals to transition from basic compliance to a state of 'inspection readiness.' It dissects the enforcement powers of major agencies like the FDA, EMA, and MHRA, while clarifying legal frameworks such as 21 CFR Parts 210/211 and EU Regulation 536/2014. Participants learn to differentiate between GCP inspections, which focus on subject rights and data integrity, and GMP inspections, which center on product quality and manufacturing control. The curriculum details the full inspection lifecycle, from initial notification and opening meetings to investigator interviews and the critical close-out phase. A significant emphasis is placed on the FDA’s six-subsystem quality framework, finding categories (Critical, Major, Minor), and Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) systems. By integrating case studies on Form FDA 483s and data integrity violations, the course ensures that organizations can maintain a permanent state of control and effectively manage regulatory risk in a globalized industry.
