2013 GMP Training - It's Time To Start Planning

• FDA cGMP QSR GMP Training - online training courses by SkillsPlus International Inc.

GMP Training - cGMP Training - Plan your upcoming year!

It's time to start planning your 2013 QSR and cGMP training, and consider engaging SkillsPlus International Inc. as your external trainer.

1. Tackle 2013 now! Coordinating future training is involved, so get ahead of the new year before it arrives. Waiting to start planning conversations in the new year only perpetuates delays, and contributes to pushing off training to the last minute.  
2. Send the right message!  By delaying early planning for 2013 training, there's a risk of sending unintended and unspoken messages that training isn't very important.
3. Deliver the best training!  Brainstorm your training needs with the leaders in GXP compliance training. Sometimes discussing things with, or bringing in external trainers can ratchet up the quality of training that students will experience. SkillsPlus International Inc. is a leader in compliance training, having trained thousands of students, over more than 20 years. Past students rave about the engagement and interactivity experienced in SkillsPlus courses.

FDA Adopts ICH Q11 (Development & Manufacture of Drug Substances)

• FDA GMP Online Training - respected cGMP online training classes offered by SkillsPlus International Inc.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a guidance entitled “Q11 Development and Manufacture of Drug Substances.” The guidance was prepared under the auspices of the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). The guidance describes approaches to developing and understanding the manufacturing process of a drug substance and provides guidance on what information should be provided in certain sections of the Common Technical Document (CTD). The guidance is intended to harmonize the scientific and technical principles relating to the description and justification of the development and manufacturing process of drug substances (both chemical entities and biotechnological/biological entities). The discussion of principles in the guidance is intended to apply only to the manufacture of drug substance, not the manufacture of finished drug products.

Why GMP Training Does Seem To Work

• FDA GMP Online Training. Current Good Manufacturing Practice Training: A New Generation Series - CGMP Online Courses | Offered by SkillsPlus International Inc.

Why GMP Training Does Seem To Work
Free Training Tips from SkillsPlus International Inc. - by Allan Dewes

GMP training doesn’t always seem to make a difference. We send our employees to class, yet they never change their compliance practices. Perhaps our employees are doing what we unintentionally encourage them to do – even though it’s not what we really want. There can be several reasons for this:

1. poorly designed or delivered training, 
2. a disconnect between what is taught in class and what is professed on the line and in meetings, and 
3. a lack of an organizational infrastructure to support and encourage GMP compliance 

Poorly Designed or Delivered Training 
A good design doesn’t have to look good, but it helps. A good design follows a logical flow and links concepts together in a logical flow that leads to a logical conclusion of what is the appropriate behavior. Employees need to know what the gaps are between what is currently practiced, and what is expected. However, even the best design in the world may be totally ineffective if the class is asleep. For instance, employees that have been working for eight hours before a class, are often made to sit in a dimly lit conference room, listening to the instructor drone on for the 93rd time about using black ink in documentation. GMP training delivery must be alive – kick it up! Remember, as trainers we are competing with the jazz of Nintendo, Wii, smartphones, and the Internet. Activities that reinforce learning objectives are a great way to jazz up training for even the most reserved trainers.

Disconnect Between Preaching & Practice 
A telltale sign of a disconnect between what is preached in the organization and what is practiced can be quickly assessed in the plant floor rumblings. Have you ever heard someone say, "I know what ‘they’ told me in class, but my supervisor wants me to get the product out the door." Perhaps you recently heard, "Those trainers don’t know how the job is really done around here." Or maybe you heard, "Tell management about these rules, they need to hear it." These comments are usually countered with, "Where did they ever get those ideas from? Of course I want GMP compliance!" However, somewhere in the employee’s work life they heard a message different than the one you intended. For example, the speed limit on many highways is stated as 65 mph (your area may be different). The message appears to be clear, but many drivers exceed the speed limit. So, what is the message many drivers hear – it’s okay to drive 70 mph. Is that second message intentional or not? Is it spoken or unspoken? Do we send the right messages about our compliance intentions?

Lack of Organizational GMP Compliance Support and Encouragement 
If behavior doesn’t change, so say behaviorists, then the environment hasn’t encouraged or supported the desired change. Let’s continue the analogy of the driver speeding on the highway. There are obviously little or no consequences for exceeding the speed limit by perhaps 5-7 mph. (Please note: I’m not giving drivers permission to exceed the speed limit, nor am I liable for those who do get tickets, I’m merely reporting an observation.) What would happen if we were all (100% of us) given speeding tickets for even 1 mph over the limit? Behavior would change, or some of us would go broke. So how are we doing in the area of GMP compliance in our plants? I see many QA auditors correcting batch records with little or no feedback to the person who made the mistake for the 93rd time. I see people responsible for SOP updates that can’t get comments back because, "We were too busy." I see trainers with empty classes because we had product to get out the door.

The Recipe For A Successful GMP Compliance Initiative Includes: 

1. Strong training program design 
2. Delivery with the energy and jazz of current entertainment media 
3. Rich and accurate content 
4. Consistent messages with the practices demonstrated by our behavior and decisions 
5. Organizational systems that encourage and support GMP compliance! 
6. Have SkillsPlus Intl Inc. deliver your next training. Call:  (415) 948-5220

Regulators, Industry Discuss Potential Impact of IMDRF > RAPS > News - Article View:

"Unlike GHTF, which was a blend of agency regulators and industry representatives, IMDRF relegates industry to a consultation role while keeping regulators in the drivers' seat. "After 20 years, time for a change," said Minor

This desire for accelerated change is written into the agency's mission, observed Trautman, speaking to the session by video link after an East Coast hurricane prevented her from attending in person. "The mission of the IMDRF is to strategically accelerate international medical device regulatory convergence to promote an efficient and effective regulatory model for medical devices that is responsive to emerging challenges in the sector while protecting and maximizing public health and safety," she relayed, quoting its mission statement."

If you're new to the pharmacy world of the Designated Representative, maybe this quick introduction will help. I'm going to explain, using the California (CA) State Board of Pharmacy as the example.

According to the CA Designated Representative application form:

A designated representative is an individual who performs clerical, inventory control, housekeeping, delivery, maintenance, or similar functions related to the distribution or dispensing of dangerous drugs or dangerous devices. To work as a designated representative, you must possess and keep a current certificate as a designated representative.

There are quite a number of requirements that have to be met in order to qualify, including the following training requirements listed on the application form:

Complete a training program that, at a minimum, addresses each of the following subjects:
(A) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of dangerous drugs and dangerous devices.
(B) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of controlled substances.
(C) Knowledge and understanding of quality control systems.
(D) Knowledge and understanding of the United States Pharmacopoeia standards relating to the safe storage and handling of drugs.
(E) Knowledge and understanding of prescription terminology, abbreviations, dosages and format.

The trick then becomes finding a way to fulfill the training program requirement.

Medical device firms growing in South Florida

Medical device firms growing in South Florida - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com:

"Florida is the fastest-growing state in creating new biotech companies and ranks second in medical device firms, according to global research firm Battelle. The southeastern region of the state, which includes Broward and Palm Beach counties, has the largest number of bioscience companies in Florida, as tracked by a University of Florida life science database.

Venture capitalists and investors are taking notice, listening to pitches at last week's BioFlorida conference from local firms seeking partners and funding. But there are many hurdles to success.

For medical devices, those challenges include ongoing financing of research, completing successful clinical trials, paying for expensive regulatory approvals, and ultimately getting hospitals and doctors to use the products."

FDA 483s Can Form Basis of Class Action Lawsuit

• Trusted FDA cGMP online training programs and courses offered by SkillsPlus Intl Inc.

In the long list of things that are inadvisable to regulatory professionals, making misleading statements to the authority in charge of regulating your business likely ranks near the top. Those found to have misled the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have in the past been publicly warned, fined, imprisoned, shut down and barred from participating in federal programs.

Now KV Pharmaceuticals is facing the prospect of an additional action: a class-action shareholder lawsuit as the result of an FDA inspection report. This is an important event, and here's why . . .

Judge: Regulatory Inspection Report Can Form Basis of Class Action Lawsuit - RAPS - News - Article View:

"On Monday, 4 June a federal appeals court ruled a securities fraud class action lawsuit could proceed against pharmaceutical manufacturer KV Pharmaceuticals for purportedly causing $1.5 billion in shareholder losses after first misleading FDA about manufacturing problems at a facility and later shutting down the facility’s manufacturing operations."

What's important to note is that this decision is a marked reversal from existing precedence, which has found Form 483 reports to be immaterial to federal securities law.
