    Description

    The Training

    Following procedures is often unnecessarily time-consuming and ambiguities cause costly mistakes. In practice, SOPs and protocols are insufficiently organised, overwhelming for the reader and contain unclear or irrelevant information.

    To prevent these mistakes and to reduce the bridge between theory and practice, PCS has designed a training course that will teach you the basic principles of Good Writing Practices.

    Some of the topics covered in this training are; the basic structures of the document system, the stakeholders in writing correct procedures, writing techniques, and tools for analysing, organising and presenting information. 

    This training goes beyond just learning the theory. In the afternoon, you will work on your own procedures and apply what you have learned directly in your own practice.

    Target Audience

    This training is intended for employees in the pharmaceutical industry involved in writing or reviewing procedures. In particular, QA Officers, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), department heads, managers and documentalists frequently attend this training.

    If you're a pharmacist or hospital pharmacist interested in earning accreditation points by attending this training,

    Strong points (and why):

    Ik kon het goed volgen, theoretisch. Heel herkenbaar allemaal. Bij de praktijk oefening blijkt het dan toch niet zo simpel als hoe het lijkt.

    Strong points (and why):

    De training was zeer praktisch ingericht, waarbij je de principes ook op praktijk voorbeeld ging toepassen. Het is nuttig dat we niet op te veel details van procedures ingaan, omdat we daarin juist zo snel verzanden

    5 out of 5 stars

    Strong points (and why):

    Very insightful training with simple examples to practice what we learnt during the course

    Review:

    In question 5, I don't give a higher scope because of the language barrier. I am aware I lost a lot of detailed information, specially in the discussions. But I could understand the main points during the presentation (the slides helped to give context to what the trainer was explaining), which was already helpful for my current knowledge
