Keep up with changes in UK Medicines Laws and the requirements of Contract, Licence and Authorisation holders.

The Human Medicines Regulations is the main medicines law in the UK and they were updated in the past to incorporate EU Laws such as Good Distribution Practice in 2013 and the Falsified Medicines Directive in February 2019. The UK now do not have to follow EU Laws since the end of the Transitional Period at the end of 2020 however Good Distribution Practice does still need to be followed if you are a pharmaceutical wholesaler in the UK. You must remember to vary your licence, before the end of June, if you wish to import medicines from the list of approved countries on the MHRAs list.

Last month the UK Government was given the power to introduce changes to UK Law through secondary legislation when The Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021 was given Royal Assent. Health Care Professionals, Superintendent Pharmacists and Responsible Persons must ensure they keep up to date with changes in UK Law and carry out CPD.
