The Health Sciences Records and Archives Association runs the following training courses
GxP-Regulated Archives and the GxP Archivist
- This training course covers the role of the archivist and the operation of the archive. It is suitable for archivists who have recently joined the profession or wish to refresh their knowledge of good archiving practice.
- The course is aimed primarily at those in a regulatory archive environment (GLP, GCP, GMP) but is also beneficial for those working in research archives.
- The course is delivered as online training.
Course outline
The primary focus of this course is on the implementation of archive procedures within an organisation and the operation of an archive in compliance with GxP (GLP, GCP, GMP). Previously, separate courses were offered for GLP Archivists and for GCP Archivists. The courses have now been combined into a single course as 90% of the content was the same for both courses. It is also beneficial for professional development to understand how GLP and GCP requirements differ from each other and from other requirements. The principles of archiving covered in this course are also relevant for any research or scientific archive. Topics covered are:
- GxP Records Management Principles
- Archive-related GxP Regulations
- The GxP Archivist
- The GxP Archive
- Outsourcing GxP Archives
