Zielsetzung
The aim of this conference is to inform about the latest requirements when it comes to distribution of medicinal products to and within the European Union (EU). Challenges and possible solutions will be discussed and examples will demonstrate how the new European requirements can be put into practice.
Hintergrund
The globalisation of the pharmaceutical supply chain has created new challenges for manufacture and supply of medicinal products in various markets, resulting in reduced control and increased security risk to the products.
The EU Directives and GDP Guidelines have been extensively revised to take into account the changing nature of the globalised supply chain.
The new EU GDP Guidelines are effective since 2013 (2013/C343/01). . These requirements highlight the need for an effective quality management system supported by risk assessment and appropriate controls in the distribution chain. Do you think you are compliant with the new requirements?
In 2014, PIC/S published their Guide to Good Distribution Practice for Medicinal Products (PE 011-1), adapting the EU GDP Guidelines for PIC/S purposes.
Already in 2011, the European Commission published Directive 2011/62/EC, the so called Falsified Medicines Directive (or FMD).The main goal is the fight against counterfeit medicines. In 2014 the technical characteristics of one key requirement were defined, the unique identifier delivering the possibility of verification of the authenticity of single folding boxes. This will be a 2D barcode (data matrix). As this new requirement will become active in 2018, it is time to start defining strategies for both technical implementation and change control strategy.
Zielgruppe
Managers and Executives from companies involved in the distribution and supply of pharmaceutical products to the European Union.
