MISSION
Grifols has always been committed to continuous improvement including promoting educational initiatives and the corporate spirit, and from this philosophy the Grifols Academy of Plasmapheresis was born.
The Grifols Academy offers our employees a program of standardized education in plasma sciences. This provides them with an overall perspective of the plasma management process focusing on the fundamentals of quality and ethics. The Academy provides life-long learning to participants, develops competencies, and instills the sense of Grifols’ identity and values in our teammates. The Academy is also a platform for opportunities, development and innovation. In the future we will be open to industry members and regulators, functioning as a link between donors and patients.
