Standard operating procedures are the basis for much of the day-to-day training pharmaceutical employees complete. Yet few people realize how the way an SOP is written affects training and job performance, so training misses the mark and avoidable mistakes happen.
This 90-minute SOP writing and training webinar shows how to strengthen the link between documentation and training. You'll cover regulatory requirements for SOPs, the parameters of an effective SOP, and how to tell a well-written procedure from a poor one.
You'll also learn to work with process owners and authors, turn SOPs into curricula and training, measure knowledge retention, and use existing tools to evaluate both SOPs and training.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Poorly written SOPs lead to poor training and avoidable errors. This session offers practical, field-tested methods you can apply quickly to improve both documents and results.
It suits documentation specialists and managers, technical writers, trainers, training managers and QA staff in pharmaceutical manufacturing, quality and IT who own processes or write procedures in a GMP environment.
