Pharmaceutical Water Systems:

Principles in Practice

Monday 5 October 1998 (19.30) - Thursday 8 October 1998 (16.30)

The St George Swallow Hotel, Harrogate

(Also a 2-day Version in Maastricht Wednesday 23 - Thursday 24 September 1998 - contact Honeyman Associates for details)

Course Objective

This course is based upon, and developed from, the highly successful course 'The A-Z of Pharmaceutical Water Systems' run in previous years by Honeyman Associates Ltd in conjunction with David Begg Associates.

'Principles in Practice' provides an interactive mix of lectures and workshops which will describe basic principles and technologies and illustrate how these are practically applied in water systems in the pharmaceutical industry.

The course will raise practical understanding and awareness for all personnel involved with pharmaceutical water systems.

Ample opportunity will be provided for discussion and for sharing of experience and best practice with course leaders and other delegates.

Who should attend?

The satisfactory design, installation, validation, maintenance and management of water systems demands a multi-disciplinary team approach. 'Principles in Practice' will be relevant for:

- engineers involved in design, installation, validation and routine maintenance

- those involved in technical and validation support

- microbiologists and QA/QC personnel involved in routine analysis and support

- regulatory compliance staff

- water system owners and users

- staff involved in risk assessment, troubleshooting and system improvement

Discussion groups and workshops

A significant proportion of time will be devoted to team tasks: these workshops will give delegates the opportunity to put theory into practice. Workshop plenary sessions will provide an excellent forum for discussion and exchange of ideas and views. Discussion time will also be set aside for specific issues and problems which are identified or become apparent during the proceedings.

The venue

The course will be held in the St George Swallow Hotel, Harrogate, an elegant Edwardian building situated in the town centre, adjacent to the famous Valley Gardens. Harrogate is easily accessed by road, rail and air: the A1 is only 8 miles away, giving direct access to the M1 and M62; Leeds-Bradford airport is about 12 miles distant; and access to Harrogate by rail is via York (22 miles) or Leeds (20 miles). Harrogate is steeped in history, reflecting its spa heritage, but, in contrast, is now renowned as an international conference and exhibition centre. The district is one of ever-changing moods: you will discover cosmopolitan coffee shops, bars and restaurants juxtaposed with rolling hills and vales, garden valley walks, traditional village life and rich country pageantry.
