The FDA has been increasing its surveillance of regulated industries. While it is a given that companies must meet their regulatory requirements, how company staff handle an audit and interact with FDA inspectors, can mean the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful FDA audit. The cost of an ineffective interaction can be staggering.
This webinar will begin by discussing and emphasizing the importance of truthfulness to the process - truthfulness in performing the job on a daily basis, truthfulness in completing the regulatory documentation that is so much a part of our regulatory lives, and finally in the context of this webinar, truthfulness when interacting with FDA inspectors.
A key component of this webinar is the discussion of the tricks and techniques that inspectors use to elicit information. How you react and respond when they occur could impact your results.
Other key communications skills will be presented in the context of the inspection and interpersonal exchanges between inspectors and company associates being questioned.
We will complete the webinar by discussing how to handle, in the moment, adverse findings as they are identified by the inspector so as to not compound the issues and severity of the findings.
