SeerPharma is pleased to once again contribute to Duke-NUS CoRE's Fundamentals of Health Products Regulation programme, being held in Singapore from 7–11 September 2026.
The course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of today's regulatory environment, examining the roles of regulators, manufacturers and other key stakeholders involved in bringing health products to market. Participants will gain valuable insights into the complete pharmaceutical product lifecycle, learning how regulatory expectations influence every stage of product development, manufacturing, and ongoing compliance.
The programme equips professionals with the knowledge required to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape while supporting the development of robust quality and compliance strategies within their organisations.
As part of the course, SeerPharma will deliver a series of sessions focused on the foundations of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), drawing on more than 35 years of practical consulting and training experience across the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries.
Topics will include:
The evolution and history of GMP
Common causes of GMP failures
Fundamental GMP principles and requirements
Quality Management Systems and key GMP terminology
Participants will also gain practical insight into GMP compliance audits and regulatory inspections, including:
Different types of GMP inspections
Common inspection observations
Typical audit deficiencies and opportunities for improvement
These sessions are designed to provide participants with practical knowledge that can be directly applied within their own organisations, helping them better understand regulatory expectations and strengthen quality management practices.
