Dear Colleague,

As a part of our University of Helsinki Industrial Pharmacy specialization studies we are conducting a research of remote audits.

The purpose of our academic study is to gather information and knowledge about remote audits together with the company practices and remote audit policies. The study consists of an audit survey created with the Webpropol® survey platform.

On our studies, we research both the Auditor and the Auditee experiences and points of view.

The supervisor of the study is Professor Anne Juppo from University of Helsinki, Faculty of Pharmacy (e-mail: [email protected]).

All responses are anonymous and the respondents cannot be recognized by the survey results.

In case you have experience in both Auditor and Auditee perspective, we would highly appreciate it if you could answer the survey twice, once for each point of view.

The survey material is solely collected for the study purposes to which this invitation to response also includes. All study material is archived and kept on our personal computers for 6 months after the study publication, after which the material is destroyed.

Answering the electronic survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Link to the survey is at the end of this letter. This survey has been sent as a sampling to Auditors and quality professionals working in pharmaceutical companies and wholesale distribution companies.

Our study will be completed during summer 2022 and it will be published in an academic journal. Our research is also stored in the publication archive of the University of Helsinki, where it is freely readable.

Please fill in your contact information via separate link after answering the survey questions if you wish to receive the publication when available.

The survey is open until 17 April 2022.

If you have any questions regarding our research feel free to contact us by email.
