Course Overview

This advanced programme provides a practical framework for managing pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and compliance throughout the product lifecycle. It focuses on the regulatory requirements governing pharmaceutical products from development and registration through manufacturing, distribution, post-market surveillance, variations, renewals, and product discontinuation. The programme examines regulatory strategy, registration pathways, dossier preparation, regulatory submissions, authority interactions, product information, labelling, promotional compliance, and regulatory change management.
