Course Description

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is that part of quality assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization. GMP are aimed primarily at diminishing the risks inherent in any pharmaceutical production.

Quality Management (QM) is a wide-ranging concept, which covers all matters, which individually or collectively influence the quality of a product. It is the sum total of the organised arrangements made with the objective of ensuring that medicinal products are of the quality required for their intended use. Quality Management (QM) therefore incorporates Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) define the responsibilities of test facility management, study director, study personnel and quality assurance personnel that are operating within a GLP system, and minimum standards concerning the suitability of facilities and equipment to perform studies, the need for standard operating procedures, documentation of raw data, study reports, the archiving of records, etc.

Good Hygiene Practice (GHP) is to include, upkeep of the facilities, pest control, waste control, use of protective clothing, cleaning and sanitization of equipment including maintenance, and the selection and use of chemicals etc.

accent is...strong. Recommend to watch on 2x and google definitions or use build un AI. Structure of the course is somewhat chaotic. Course does it's job, though.

Thanks for the instructor , a little bit the voice and language was unclear , the course was very simple, generic and superficial therefore I didn't get the informations I was looking for.

By Nguyen Quang Khai on 11/25/2023

I am a graduate Pharmaceutical engineer at Hanoi University of Science and Technology in Vietnam. During my last semester, I also took a coursework at the University, called "Quality Management in Food and Pharmaceutical Industries. It helped me a lot to develop a basis for QM in Pharmaceutical manufacturing but at some points, it was not clear enough to understand the theories and rules. Your course has just provided an easy-to-approach knowledge that I had lacked. Thank you so much and I hope to learn about your other courses.
