Good Laboratory Practices

Benjamin Franklin famously said: “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn”

This course has been entirely redesigned with this cogent observation in mind so that each person can get involved in problem solving and thus learn about Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations.

Overall, the main intent is to review all the requirements of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) regulations for facilities engaged in regulated Safety Testing. The learning initiative is achieved through a mixture of short lectures, illustrative answers to FAQs and by collective problem-solving workshops. The aim is to ensure that each participant is personally faced with real life situations for which GLP compliant solutions have to be found.

The notions of procedures, processes and systems will be addressed via workshops on process mapping, and the implementation of procedures within the context of the GLP laboratory. The participants will also be challenged with the issues of data integrity and the problems of study reconstruction. Participants will be asked to give their own reactions to real-life situations and to solve the issues arising in a way compliant with the regulations.

Involving the participants in GLP decision making processes means that they will learn and understand rather than just receiving information as they would from a standard course.

This 8-hour accredited course will concentrate on existing FDA and OECD Good Laboratory Practices and their application to the workplace including recent developments such as multi-site and short-term studies. Lectures will address how to prepare and react to authoritative inspections.
