Introduction to GAMP 5

Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP) gives the possibility to follow a logic and systematic approach to categorization, documentation, and risk assessment of automated systems.

On this course you will achieve focused knowledge on how the methods of GAMP 5 can help you secure that the patient safety, product quality and data integrity live up to current expectations for your Computerized systems.

Course information

Teaching method

Both instruction and course material will be in English on our English courses.

The course will consist of a mix between theoretical overview of the GAMP 5 guide and what it means in practice. We will use a "practical project" as reference and use it for relevant examples and exercises.

To be able to make our course even better we will ask all participants to evaluate the course on the last day.

Course highlights

On the course you will achieve:

That you get a better understanding of GAMP 5 which will give better possibility to create your URS so it is specific, measurable, achievable, and prioritized so that you can avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
That you know about software categorization and scaling.
That you have knowledge about which documents are necessary.
That you get usable methods for assessing and handling high, medium, low risks.
