CfPA- The Center for Professional Advancement, Paris, France
11-12 June, 2020


Who Should Attend?
The participants in this course will already know the basics of GLP either through prior experience or completion of the CfPA course #545 as highlighted below. The course is designed for those who wish to master how to implement and maintain a GLP QA function. The course explores quality issues within preclinical GLP and provides an opportunity for experienced personnel to update their competencies. Participants may come from:
  • Life-Science Industries
  • Academia
  • Government
  • Contract Testing Facilities

The course is designed for people who are considering a career opportunity in GLP/QA or those who are already GLP/QA personnel but who wish to refresh or perfect their QA knowledge and skills.

Course Description
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 how to perform the role of Quality Assurance for laboratories undertaking studies that must be performed in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations.

Overall, the main intent is to review the roles and responsibilities of the QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA) group auditing and inspecting GLP studies. The important responsibility of setting up, maintaining and performing a QA programme in a laboratory is at the core of this course.

The learning initiative is achieved through short lectures, illustrative answers to FAQs and problem solving workshops. The aim is to ensure that each participant is personally faced with real life situations for which a member of a GLP/QA team has to find GLP compliant solutions.

To be efficient in GLP /QA you must understand how studies are planned, performed and reported, and how a general GLP environment can be assured in the laboratory. Thus we put great importance on the establishment and application of a GLP/QA audit and inspection programme. The participants will also be challenged with the issues of study integrity, the problems of study reconstruction and the establishment of valid operating procedures.

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.

The course will concentrate on existing OECD and FDA Good Laboratory Practices and their application to the workplace including recent developments such as multi-site and short term studies.

Although there will be ample time for participants to ask questions, the course directors will also hold an optional, free, two-hour “GLP Quality Assurance - Clinic” after the end of the course for those who have detailed or specific problems that they would like to discuss wwith them, either privately (if your institute considers the issue to be confidential) or openly with all participants if the topic does not require confidential treatment.

Invited Speakers:
   David Long, Long and Associates International Consulting Ltd.

David Long worked for Rhône Poulenc Health Division (now Sanofi-Aventis) in Quality Assurance (QA) for over twenty years where he gained considerable experience in all three Good Practice disciplines, GLP, GCP and GMP. When he left Rhône-Poulenc he was Senior Director R&D worldwide for Quality and for Process Improvement. Mr. Long has since worked for CHIMEX, a manufacturing subsidiary of the L’Oreal group and now runs his own consultancy company.

David Long has always shown a keen interest in promoting professional QA activities. He was a founding member and President of the French QA Society and a founding member and President of the European QA Federation. He was also the founder and Chief Editor of the Quality Assurance Journal, an international scientific journal specifically addressing subjects of interest to R&D and QA personnel.

He has lectured and trained widely and has been an active participant in developing training in Good Practices and QA, working with a number of international groups including the OECD and the WHO. His latest contribution through the WHO has been in the co-authoring of a set of guidelines for research performed upstream of the regulatory scene, called “Quality Practices in Basic Biomedical Research”.

He has presented many papers at international QA meetings and has been involved for several years in developing a variety of training programmes nationally and internationally including OECD training workshops.

Twenty years ago he created his own GLP training and compliance consultancy.
