Course Overview

Our Tabletting Technology Course is an introduction to tabletting and associated processes. This world-leading course offers a unique opportunity for you to develop knowledge, practical skills and discuss real day-to-day challenges with industry experts.

Join us on this well-established and intensive 3-day course for an in-depth look at the formulation, production, drug-release characteristics of pharmaceutical tablets and CMC aspects.

100% of previous attendees would recommend the Course to a colleague.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Evaluate how AI can improve tablet development decisions and regulatory workflows	Apply essential formulation principles to develop robust tablet products and enhance CMC decision making
Apply good manufacturing practice requirements throughout tablet production	Assess material properties and predict their effect on tablet performance
Plan process scale-up while maintaining product quality and consistency	Select and optimise mixing and granulation processes for the required product attributes
Determine when and how to use roller compaction effectively	Design a process validation approach that demonstrates consistent performance
Select and use tablet machines and instrumentation to achieve reliable production	Interpret tablet testing results to confirm product quality and performance
Develop and troubleshoot film-coating processes to meet product requirements	Understand the underlying principles and generate the appropriate data in formulation design and tabletting manufacturing

Who is this course for?

Those who would like to broaden their understanding of tabletting and/or who work in:

- Formulation and Product Development
- Manufacturing
- Research & Development
- Process Engineering
- Manufacturing Science and Technology
- Quality Assurance, QC and Supply Quality
- Product, Project and Technical Leadership
- Laboratory and Technical Operations
- Regulatory and Inspection Compliance
- Chemistry Manufacturing and Control (CMC)

Key benefits of attending:

Content examples are drawn directly from industry practice, ensuring learning can be applied immediately in the workplace.
Presentations and interactive sessions throughout this intensive Course focus on putting hard numbers to what makes a successful product for patient use.
All speakers are directly involved in development, production or registration of tablets, and either fronted regulatory inspections or contributed to successful regulatory filings.
The hands-on practical session re-enforces the scientific principles described in the presentations with the opportunity to see a range of tablet-testing and small-scale equipment.
You will develop knowledge and critical thinking skills needed to address current tabletting challenges while preparing for future potential advancements in the field.

Learn

What did previous attendees say?

"The problem-based learning sessions were well structured and gave the opportunity to put course learnings into practice."

"Engaging presentations and relevant content, mixed with excellent hands-on experience that I found to be of fantastic value."

"The demonstration was extremely useful in cementing the theory we learnt, and illustrating the major differences that relatively small adjustments in the formulation can make."

"I wanted to obtain greater understanding in tablet formulation and technologies of production and testing. The course has been invaluable in improving my understanding of the area."

Testimonials:

Excellent few days at Woburn House attending this year’s Tabletting Technology course. A huge thank you to Kendal Pitt and all the speakers for such informative and interactive lectures. Refreshing my knowledge of tablet formulation and getting up to speed with techniques not yet used has been a great experience. Highly recommend attending this course to anyone looking to better understand tabletting formulation, if they are involved in any part of the development, manufacture or assessment of OSDs. - Chloe Townsley, Senior Product Development Scientist, Tangerine Group

A massive thank you to the organisers and speakers for a great overview of Tabletting Technology. From the importance of API physical form… to early stage formulation development… and all the way through to commercial upscale, packaging and technology transfer. A brilliant variety of talks, (challenging!) problem-based learning and insightful demonstrations. - Aled Morton, Formulation Development Scientist, Almac Group
