This introductory course provides a comprehensive overview of the GMP principles which should be applied during pharmaceutical product development. It is ideal for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry, NHS and academic institutions who seek to understand the differences and challenges associated with the development process, as well as strategies to ensure ensure compliance with relevant GMPs.
