The Benefits of an RP forum – are you maintaining your CPD?

by | May 1, 2026 | Blog, RP, RP Forum, RPi, Training

Are you an internal RP that has limited time or resources to support your own CPD? Have you considered an RP forum? This blog discusses some of the benefits.

The RP role can be a lonely road, often a single person who puts compliance and quality before the commercial. You hold the responsibility of the medicines your company handles, and at times, many within the company do not understand or recognise the constraints and pressure you may be under. Our forum is designed to be a space where you can interact with other RPs, discuss industry challenges and share views and experiences.

The benefits:

  • The forum is one hour out of your schedule every two months
  • The forum is a cheap way to maintain your CPD without requiring a full training day
  • Feedback from attendees state they always learn something new
  • Ability to ask questions in an open forum
  • Ability to learn from other RPs who may have experienced similar situations
  • Provide discussion on current hot topics
  • Provide feedback from recent inspections or trainings
  • Ability to discuss your current challenges in a controlled environment with likeminded professionals

Pharmacy Consulting offer a bimonthly RP forum which provides a snapshot on a specific topic. We provide a small training section and then an open forum where the attendees can ask questions, share their own experiences from industry and expand their knowledge in a friendly manner.

Previous topics covered include:

  • Transportation
  • Management Review Meetings
