Limited spots left, please check with our staff at the registration desk for availability
Presenters:
Jason King-Andreini, Sr Manager, TMF Operations, BridgeBio Therapeutics
Description:
We all face it – do we do enough for quality review, how can it be better, and is it going to be sufficient for inspection readiness? We learn to not trust because no matter how many we perform, Auditors and Inspectors continue to find reasons for us to feel insecure about our quality review process.In this session, we will discuss multiple scenarios for your starting point:
- We have no quality review process implemented
- We have a process, but it isn’t satisfactory
- We want to improve a solid process
Understanding your tools, understanding your systems, and understanding your TMF Contents – creating your relationships for support and subject matter expertise and taking on only what your TMF group can take on but establishing a business case for other functions to participate are THE constant challenges to getting an effective and thorough Quality Review Process established.Join us by bringing your experience, your questions, and your concerns about how to improve a quality review process in your organization.
