“The API training course provides a good framework foundation focused on API distribution.
I only wish I had found the API course much earlier, it would have saved me months of puzzling on some issues relating API importation and distribution. I am a novice when it comes to Medicinal product regulatory compliance. For months I have been rolling in the Green Guide but the Green Guide focuses mostly on Finished Form medicine, so I end up with just as many questions at the beginning, albeit a different set of questions. The API course finally answers my fundamental questions on API distribution, and yes I have a plenty of Q&A time with the trainer which is of great benefit to me.
I am so pleased with the API course, I immediately start working with one of their consultants on specific issues I face in my company.
.” Yu Wang, Donglun Ltd – API Training, July 2021
Ash our trainer was very knowledgeable, friendly and helped us greatly on our training course, highly recommended. 10/10
“Really enjoyed the training session over the last 3 days, John was a great presenter who did really well considering he had an
audience from all over the UK…infact the world! I’m sure the face to face/classroom style presentation would have been more
interactive as I certainly missed being able to bounce off others but this is no fault of John or the course contents. Learned so
much from the past few days, more than I actually realised that I would. Thank you!” February 2021
“I was a brilliant course and it opened my eyes. It gives me a platform to diversity my profile of practice.” Cogent Online Training – December 2021
The GPD session at PCL enabled me to focus on the really important things when it comes to getting your wholesale licence.
Dawn structured the workshop in a very lively and interactive way so it is easy to follow and to use her ideas for your own business. It was very helpful, I decided to book the Audit training too.
Very informative, Jackie created a relaxed atmosphere which was conducive to active participation of the whole group. Jackie also provided a summary of the recent MHRA convention which was very beneficial.
As a busy family run logistics business we are really grateful for the expertise of Pharmacy Consulting who came alongside us, pulling out all the stops to meet tight deadlines and helping us to elevate the standard of our Quality System. Thanks to the assistance of Jackie and her team, we are now able to satisfy the exacting standards of larger pharmaceutical wholesalers thereby improving our offerings to our clients and opening up new avenues for our business in the future.

“My experience working with Steven has been calm and reassuring. I have struggled to find specific requirements for API distribution from my previous consultant and the Green Guide. I start working with Steven shortly after taking an API training course at PCL, the consultation is beyond my expectation, he helps me identify my specific set of issues quickly and advise me how I should address them to achieve compliance. In the short time I am working with Steven gives me clarity that I have not managed from my previous consultant in months. Steven tirelessly explains the whole process to me which is of great benefit, I am much more aware what my issue are and what needs to done to address them. In my mind, Steven is like an guide and companion en-route to compliance, he asks the right questions, explains well and helps me find practical solution. His experience and problem solving skills shines through and makes consulting stress less and pleasant. ” Yu Wang, Donglun Ltd – PCL Consultancy Services

“Very interactive, answered all my questions and pointers in the right direction.”
Ade – Course Rating 9/10
“It is always difficult to provide and undertake virtual training. Wes did well getting through all the material and encouraged
interaction among the group. This was difficult but at times good discussion did open up. There were no technical difficulties in
terms of the training provision, and everything ran to time, if not a bit quicker than expected. I did enjoy it and remained engaged throughout.
There was a lot of content and to begin with I felt a little overwhelmed and anxious about the five assessments
looming at the end. However Wes reassured us that we had the info we would be needing and rather than worry about taking notes, better to listen and take in the lesson. Which worked. I gained some useful insights which I will take back to work. I go back feeling much better equipped to aid the RP with our QMS.” November 2020
Very informative. Was hesitant about attending but very happy I did. Jackie was excellent.

Pharmacy Consulting has been performing consultancy work for Vygon for several years, during that time they have provided us with a very professional and efficient service. PCL helped Vygon obtain their original Wholesale Dealers Licence and have provided Responsible Person (RP) support to our Quality Team ever since. PCL guided us successfully through our MHRA inspection. More recently, Jackie delivered GDP update training sessions for me and my deputy when I started in my new role as Head of QA/RA. I would recommend PCL to any organisation that needs support in their pharmaceutical operations.
