Statistics for the Life Sciences Industry (1 day)

Aims and Objectives
The correct use of statistics is an essential part of any efficient production facility. With more emphasis being placed on activities such as Risk Assessment and Quality by Design by regulatory agencies, companies with a firm grasp of the fundamentals of statistics will be the most successful over the coming years.

SeerPharma will be holding a one-day workshop in the understanding and practical application of basic principles of statistics in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. The program focuses on undertanding statistical principles through analysis of real life examples.  It is targeted at production personnel who are required to manage and interpret production and control data. It is also relevant to those who are looking for a refresher course on the use and interpretation of statistics.

On completion of this subject students should have an understanding of the concepts and statistical methods required in the production and control of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. They should be able to interpret results related to production and analysis issues.
