Implementing Quality Agreements

Course Description

Quality Agreements are a mainstay of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) sphere as defined in ICH Q7 Section 16.12, and in Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) as inferred in 21 CFR Part 58.1 and 58.35. They have become more common in the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) arena of clinical trial operations as risk-based study management becomes firmly established.
