An up-to-date and well-established residential course designed to:

- Provide delegates with an intensive course of study on the formulation, production and drug-release characteristics of pharmaceutical tablets.
- Inform delegates about the basic concepts of equipment selection, granulation and end-point determination, formulation optimisation and prediction, in-process monitoring (PAT), official and non-official dissolution tests, and film coating. It deals with development pharmaceutics for registration.
- Describe the current state of knowledge of the subject, both in terms of theoretical basis and practical experience.
- Provide delegates with knowledge that they will be able to apply to day-to-day problems in tabletting, linked to a sound theoretical knowledge of the principles involved.
- Enable delegates to discuss real challenges faced in day-to-day work through a blend of interactive workshops and problem-based learning sessions. Delegates are invited to send in advance, or bring to the course, their own problems in tablet formulation or production for discussion.
- Provide delegates with opportunities to network with other people in the field, as well as the expert course tutors, through informal discussion groups and a full social programme.
