In the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, a wholesale dealer may import Qualified Person certified medicines form the EEA if certain checks are made by the Responsible Person import (RPi)
RP-i has an important role in ensuring that only bona fide quality medicines are imported into the UK and ensuring appropriate systems are in place to control and evidence the process. To be a RP-i you must have undergone suitable training and understand the industry in order to qualify for the role. RP-is will have a legal responsibility to ensure that batches of authorised medicines imported from countries on an approved list, held by the MHRA, have been certified by a Qualified Person prior to being placed on the UK market. If you are a person named on the Qualified Persons register you be eligible to act as a RPi, however you must still apply to be named on the RPi register
RP-is do not have to be an employee of the licence holder, they can be a contractor. Pharmacy Consulting Ltd can provide RP-i services to your business. Pharmacy Consulting Ltd runs RPi training monthly in several location across the country. If you prefer they can come to your site to deliver bespoke RPi training.
