Tabletting Technology Course 2026

Monday 13 - Wednesday 15 April 2026

Woburn House Conference Centre
20 Tavistock Square, London, WC1H 9HQ

Course Overview

Our Tabletting Technology Course is an introduction to tabletting and associated processes. This world-leading course offers a unique opportunity for you to discuss real day-to-day challenges with industry experts.

Join us on this well-established and intensive 3-day course for an in-depth look at the formulation, production, drug-release characteristics of pharmaceutical tablets and CMC aspects.
 

You will learn about:

  • AI in tablet development 
  • Essentials of the formulation of tablets

 

  • Requirements of good manufacturing practice
  • Properties of materials
  • Scale-up of processes
  • Mixing and granulation processes
  • Process validation
  • Roller compaction
  • Tablet machines and instrumentation
  • Tablet testing
  • Film coating
   

Key benefits of attending:

  • A key part of the course is the understanding of underlying principles and generating the appropriate data in formulation design and tabletting manufacturing.
  • All of the examples in the presentations are applicable to industrial life and will be directly relevant to delegates.  
  • It is an intense course, and the theme of all the presentations and interactive sessions will be on putting hard numbers to what makes a successful product for patient use.  
  • The advantage of the course is that everyone teaching on the course is directly involved in some aspect of development, production and registration of tablets. All the presenters have either fronted regulatory inspections or contributed to successful regulatory filings.
  • The hands-on practical session re-enforces the scientific principles that have been described in the presentation with the opportunity for the delegates to see a range of tablet-testing and small-scale equipment.
  • A key output for the delegates is to develop the thinking to deal with different aspects of tabletting, including what they may be exposed to in the future.

100% of the previous course attendees would recommend this course to a colleague!


 

What did previous attendees say?

"The problem based learning sessions were well structured and gave the opportunity to put course learnings into practice." 

"Engaging presentations and relevant content, mixed with excellent hands-on experience that I found to be of fantastic value." 

"The demonstration was extremely useful in cementing the theory we learnt, and illustrating the major differences that relatively small adjustments in the formulation can make."

"I wanted to obtain greater understanding in tablet formulation and technologies of production and testing. The course has been invaluable in improving my understanding of the area."

Testimonials:

Excellent few days at Woburn House attending this year’s Tabletting Technology course with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. A huge thank you to Kendal Pitt and all the speakers for such informative and interactive lectures. Refreshing my knowledge of tablet formulation and getting up to speed with techniques not yet used has been a great experience. Highly recommend attending this course to anyone looking to better understand tabletting formulation, if they are involved in any part of the development, manufacture or assessment of OSDs. - Chloe Townsley, Senior Product Development Scientist, Tangerine Group

A massive thank you to the organisers and speakers for a great overview of Tabletting Technology. From the importance of API physical form… to early stage formulation development… and all the way through to commercial upscale, packaging and technology transfer. A brilliant variety of talks, (challenging!) problem-based learning and insightful demonstrations. - Aled Morton, Formulation Development Scientist, Almac Group
