Who is it for

This course is aimed at personnel in production and quality functions who wish to increase their understanding of regulatory requirements and expectations for the environmental monitoring of pharmaceutical operations. It will be of particular use to anyone performing environmental monitoring and those involved in collating and interpreting the results obtained during EM.
Why it matters

Environmental monitoring is one of the key aspects affecting product quality in the manufacture of sterile medicinal products. Both EMA and USFDA GMP regulations place special focus on this topic. Gaps in EM procedures and implementation can seriously impact patient safety and attract regulatory action.
