RSSL invites you to attend the 2026 Annual QP Symposium on 29 September 2026 at The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House in London. As an annual event, the symposium brings the Qualified Person Community together to network, share best practice and discuss common challenges facing QPs across the sector.
The scope of a Qualified Person has long revolved around classic formulation types. The market is changing, and fast. Novel, complex and specialist formulations are becoming the norm and the regulations are following closely behind. We have assembled a panel of experts working across the new fields to deliver CPD and insight into the formulations and regulations now reshaping the role.
at any stage of the journey, looking to confidently answer VIVA questions on unfamiliar or diverse products
supporting trainee QPs, seeking to strengthen application success
wanting to broaden their knowledge and CPD in a shifting manufacturing environment
whose organisations are expanding into new formulation types
The QP conference will be a full-day event featuring a series of invited talks, panel sessions, interactive workshops and networking opportunities.
