The Federal Pharmacy Council (CRF) of Paraná promoted on Friday (12th), in Toledo, the 7th Update Seminar on Pharmaceutical Industry, with emphasis on quality management and similar legislation. The event - organized by CRF-PR Industry Commission - brought together more than 100 people, including pharmacists, teachers and students of the Pharmacy course at the Paranaense University (Unipar). The action had the support of Prati-Donaduzzi and Laboratório Waldomiro Pereira.
The seminar aimed to contribute to the continuous improvement of training for professionals increasingly prepared to the requirements of performance and practice of the pharmacist. On that occasion, a lecture on harmonization of drug registration criteria aimed to update the participants on the topic related to new legislation (RDC 60/2014), which regulates the granting and drug registration renewal, and which directly impacts the areas of Research and Development and Regulatory Affairs. "It is very important this interaction between academic and industry areas and to give a lecture to other professionals on the role of industry and the rules that must be followed to the Supervisory Board, Anvisa," stresses the Regulatory Affairs Manager of Prati-Donaduzzi, Leticia Rechia.
In addition, pharmacist Vanderson Galan, from Prati-Donaduzzi, highlighted in his lecture the industry trends in relation to new pharmaceutical forms. After that, PhD researcher Bruno Sarmento taught a short course on nanotechnology in developing new therapeutic systems.
The event was attended by the President of the CRF-PR, Dr. Arnaldo Zubioli, vice-president of CRF-PR, Dra. Mirian Ramos Fiorentin, inspector Dr. Luciano Pacheco, and supervisor of CRF-PR Cascavel Section, Dr. Eli Bernadette Selm Slaviero.

Evaluation
Pharmacy Student at Unipar and collaborator of Quality Control of Prati-Donaduzzi Angela Capelin made a positive evaluation of the seminar. "We are working in the industry and pursuing a degree in Pharmacy. We reconcile both realities, linking theory to practice".
Franciele Bortoluzzi Menegat, who also works at Prati-Donaduzzi and is a pharmacy student, points out that it is important to be previously informed about the needs and requirements of Anvisa, and the event contributed to her updating in this regard.
