Join us for this episode as we speak with Nadia Saleh, Inspector in the Manufacturing Quality Branch at TGA and discuss:

• what role TGA plays in ensuring quality manufacturing practices and why this is important
• what Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is
• how this applies to manufacturers of medicines and biologicals
• the inspection process
• how COVID-19 has affected the way we work

We also learn about some of the innovative ways TGA is working with manufacturers of medicines and biologicals including some of the technology being used for remote inspections.
