• Review audit reports, oversee corrective and preventative actions (CAPAs), and ensure documentation integrity.

Inspection Readiness and Compliance:

• Prepare teams for regulatory inspections, providing training and site support as needed, particularly for GCP-related requirements.
• Address inspection findings with timely and appropriate responses.

Training and Advisory:

• Deliver foundational training on quality and regulatory topics to staff, with emphasis on GCP principles.
