VHR Attends OECD Event - 26-Nov-2008
VHR's QA Manager Jeni Littler attended the 'Mulilateral symposium between Monitoring Authorities, Regulatory Authorites and Test Facilities on the Implementation of the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice' held in Italy on the 10th and 11th of April, 2008. This conference hosted over 200 delegates representing scores of countries and aimed to provide an open forum where the public and private sectors could informally meet and discuss current GLP issues. Four sessions were conducted over the 2 days detailing the points of views of the monitoring authorities, regulatory authorities and the test facilities with the fourth and final session round-tabling the GLP principles, current needs and asking 'what next?'. The symposium was a great success and Jeni's attendance keeps VHR at the fore-front of developments in the world of OECD GLP.
