Course Overview

 

Regulatory affairs is an essential function within the pharmaceutical and biotech industries to ensure patient safety. Regulations exist to ensure all products are safe and effective for use. Regulators such as the EMA, MHRA and HPRA make sure all products on the market meet the safety and quality requirements. Regulatory requirements impact all departments in a (bio)pharmaceutical company, so it is critical for professionals to have a basic understanding of what they are.

 

This course will provide a clear understanding of the procedures involved in obtaining and maintaining market authorisations for medicines in the European Union. You will discuss the EU legislative framework and regulatory procedures for MAA submission. You will examine the regulations throughout the product life cycle, from product development and submissions to post market obligations. Once completed, you will have a solid awareness of the importance of regulatory affairs in your role and organisation.

 

With the Educo Post Learning Implementation Plan (PLIP) you will have the framework to apply and implement the knowledge acquired in the training, supporting you in your development. Learn more about how we deliver classroom and live online training.
