Real Staffing’s Post

A leadership turnover rate of just 9% is exceptionally low. As the market recovers, we can anticipate a notable increase in leadership transitions, particularly in the quality and regulatory sectors of medical device companies.

Navigating the complexities of Quality Control (QC) in the pharmaceutical industry requires not just a keen eye for detail, but also a partner who truly understands the intricacies of the field. As a Technical Resourcer at LSC, my focus is on connecting QC professionals with opportunities that not only match their skill set but also propel their careers forward. For QC professionals looking to advance their careers, consider these five must-haves: 1. Regulatory Knowledge: Stay updated with FDA, EMA, and other regulatory bodies' guidelines. This knowledge is crucial for ensuring compliance and maintaining the highest quality standards. 2. Analytical Skills: A robust understanding of analytical techniques and the ability to interpret data accurately are essential for making informed decisions that impact product quality. 3. Attention to Detail: Precision is key in QC. A meticulous approach to your work can prevent costly errors and ensure product integrity. 4. Communication Skills: Clear and effective communication is vital when collaborating with cross-functional teams and when documenting processes and outcomes. 5. Continuous Improvement Mindset: The pharmaceutical industry is ever-evolving. Embrace ongoing learning and adaptability to stay ahead in your field.

"66% of AssureBio's contract network believes the job market is very quiet right now." That’s a huge pool of talented consultants ready to tackle critical projects! It made me reflect on why our clients have hired consultants over the past 12 months 🤔. Here are some of the main reasons: ➡️QMS failures/backlog ➡️Poor quality KPI delivery ➡️Lack of staff training ➡️Persistent quality culture issues ➡️Cross contamination issues  ➡️Lack of Qualified Person (QP) resource When I get the call to recruit QA/QC experts to rectify these issues, this is what I'm thinking when considering my approach to the client: 👉If these issues are left unaddressed, how long do they have before they escalate to a regulatory risk? 👉At what point do these challenges become the unhealthy "norm" in an organisation and what is the impact of this? 👉How damaging can a lack of QP resource or leadership be to the overall Quality culture? No company is perfect and these issues can be difficult to tackle. Although the market seems quiet right now, for consultants with expertise in rectifying these challenges...your time will come!

Is it possible to manage both Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance on your own in a Medical Technology company?   I’ve spoken to a few people in the market lately who have turned down such positions, expressing concerns about the workload being too demanding for one person.   Other professionals in the industry have left solo Head of RA/QA positions within the first year due to unmet promises of team expansion, the overwhelming workload, or the desire to get back into a team leadership role.   Separate RA and QA functions boost efficiency and ensure better risk management, comprehensive compliance, and continuous improvement. This structure ensures regulatory and quality goals are effectively met, resulting in safe, compliant, high-quality products.   Solo roles combining RA and QA might not be sustainable in the long run. While it could work in smaller companies with simpler products, growth or dealing with complex regulations might require team expansion to avoid overwhelming workloads.   Regulatory requirements vary across markets, which can make it challenging for one person to ensure compliance everywhere.   When considering combined RA/QA roles, assess your expertise and capacity. Also, consider the company's commitment to building dedicated teams. Solo roles might lack sustainability, so it's essential to weigh these factors against your skills and career objectives. #regulatoryaffairs #qualityassurance #medicaltechnology #compliance #medtech #medicaltechnology #medicaldevices #RAQA
