"QPSHARE" is an exclusive database for the members of the European QP Association. The project aims to collect data about suppliers to identify API and excipients manufacturers who are of interest to more than one QP. The approach of this project is very similar to that of a pilot project that was initiated by different authorities (e. g. FDA, EMA, EDQM, TGA) to identify those companies more than one authority wants to inspect. As a consequence, one authority might conduct an inspection and share the results with other partners.

The database “QPShare” was designed to increase convenience when working with this tool. Confidentiality will be maintained, as the names of the QPs will not be displayed. If a member would like to contact the QPs related to a certain supplier, a button allows the member to send an automatic message to the other QPs. Only if the QPs who receive the message are interested they may disclose their identity and contact the colleague.

Outcome:

The new Database might be interessting for QPs and might help them saving time by sharing information.
