We are looking forward to attending IQPC’s Pharmaceutical Serialization and Traceability conference coming to Geneva in November. The conference will focus on topics that are very important to us, such as patient safety and anti-counterfeiting.
One of the featured speakers for the event, Janice Kite, Director Healthcare Traceability for GS1, participated in our “Tips for Implementing FDA UDI without Derailing Production” webinar. At the Geneva event, Janice’s presentation, “Traceability and Product Serialization Standards and Harmonization”, will cover key worldwide regulatory and industry developments, GS1 Standards for Healthcare, how GS1 standards assist in compliance to the Directive for Falsified Medicines and the standardization strategy across Europe and Internationally.
The conference will also have industry speakers from the EFPIA, APB and PGEU, GIRP and HIBC as well as from manufacturers AstraZeneca, Roche, Boehringer-Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, Daiichi-Sankyo and Abbott Laboratories.
