This interactive seminar is the official launch of GAMP 5: A Risk-based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems, and focuses on the principles, concepts, and approaches to computer systems compliance.

GAMP 5 represents a major upgrade to GAMP®4. The previous edition covers aspects of risk management, but GAMP 5 embeds the process and takes it to a new level. GAMP 5 addresses the entire lifecycle of an automated system in detail and is applicable to a wide range of information systems, lab equipment, integrated manufacturing systems, and IT infrastructures.

This new Guide also examines leveraging supplier capabilities in order to build trust with suppliers and use of their documentation. It recognizes the reality that most businesses no longer build their own software systems, but buy configurable software.

Seminar workshops will help you apply GAMP 5 principles, and explain how GAMP 5 will enhance effectiveness and efficiency back on the job. You will also learn the latest GAMP thinking on interpreting and understanding current regulatory trends. GAMP 5 points to the future of computer systems compliance by centering on principles behind major industry developments such as PQLI, ICH Q8, Q9, Q10, and ASTM E2500.

Additional discussion topics based on new Guide information include outsourcing, electronic batch recording, end user applications (such as spreadsheets and small database applications), and patch management.

GAMP 5 has been written by the worldwide GAMP Community of Practice and is the result of collaboration between pharmaceutical companies, suppliers/vendors, consultants and regulators. This is your chance to hear directly from contributors to GAMP 5 and get both a complimentary copy of the Guide and a CD of checklists, templates, diagrams, and other useful resources. GAMP 5 will go on sale shortly after this launch event.
