Writing Effective SOPs for Regulatory Compliance

Why Should You Attend:

The lack of or inadequate standard operating procedures (SOPs) continue to dominate the FDA’s inspectional observations. Their frequency lags only behind the Quality Unit concerns. Moreover, SOPs are often used as training tools, which means that they need to be easily understood by all those whom they affect. Effective SOPs are not only a regulatory requirement; they also make good business sense. Too many times employees fail to follow SOPs because they can’t understand them, and too many times procedures are being constantly revised. This leads to lengthy and expensive investigations and costly revisions.

By attending this webinar, you will gain a better understanding the regulatory expectations for, and the proper design and maintenance of effective and compliant Standard Operating Procedures.
