University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham

9 - 10 April 2025

£995 per attendee

Efficiency, compliance, and precision form the foundation of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in medicines manufacturing. This course will provide practical experience through immersive VR to help you appreciate how the right combination of equipment, materials handling strategies, and process controls come together to meet the sector's stringent regulatory standards and ensure the reliable delivery of safe, high-quality medicines to patients worldwide.

From specialised GMP equipment that ensures product quality and consistency to precision production scales, each component plays a crucial role in maintaining high industry standards. Effective materials handling solutions streamline workflows, reduce waste, and improve workplace safety by minimising contamination risks and enhancing operational efficiency. Meanwhile, advanced manufacturing processes integrate automation, real-time quality control, and cutting-edge innovations to maximise productivity and scalability. Whether producing chemical pharmaceuticals, biologics, cell and gene therapies, or vaccines, the right combination of equipment, materials handling strategies, and process controls is essential for success.
