Agenda Announced for the FACT Cellular Therapy Inspection and Accreditation Workshop at the 2019 ISCT North America Meeting – September 12

Posted in :: 2019 Volume 7 :: Monday, July 29th, 2019

This workshop in Madison incorporates instruction on the process of accreditation, FACT Standards requirements, and practical applications such as risk assessment and transportation issues related to cellular therapy. Several hot topics include quality management in novel cell therapies, environmental monitoring, and occurrence management. These sessions are designed to help applicants navigate the evolving changes in the field. The agenda also includes training for new inspectors with real-world examples and exercises to guide them through the inspection process. This is a must-see event for the following audiences:

• Blood and marrow transplant (BMT) programs
• Cell processing laboratories
• Physicians, scientists, and principal investigators
• Unit supervisors, laboratory managers, administrators, nurses, and medical technologists

The day includes an applicant track and inspector training track. Inspector trainees are required to attend the inspector orientation track.

We encourage programs to send multiple personnel to attend the various FACT events on September 12.  The FACT Cellular Therapy Inspection and Accreditation Workshop is a must-see for cell processing laboratories, physicians, scientists, and principal investigators, and unit supervisors, laboratory managers, administrators, nurses, and medical technologists.  The ISCT-FACT Quality Boot Camp, which takes place on the same day as the workshop, is essential for program quality managers.
