Licence Holder Training
Is your licence holder fully aware of their responsibilities?
Whilst it is common knowledge that the Responsible Person has a lot of responsibilities when named on the licence, the Licence holder is also named on the licence and also has responsibilities.
In some cases the Licence Holder may be someone in management who is a little more removed from the day to day activities of the business. The MHRA will expect to see the licence holder at the inspection, and they will expect them to know all their responsibilities.
We offer a short training session which has been created specifically for licence holders. We look at the legislation and what it means for the licence holder.
Do you know your responsibilities as the Licence Holder?
When you have an MHRA inspection, the inspectors will be expecting you to know all your responsibilities as the licence holder.
This course details your responsibilities, and has been designed for higher level managers and directors in the industry who may not be directly involved in the day to day running of the warehouse, to help them to obtain a more in-depth understanding of their roles and responsibilities as the licence holder.
Licence Holder Training Includes
During the course we will cover, but will not be limited to the key subject areas listed below.
- Responsibilities of the Licence Holder
- Responsibilities of the RP
- Comparison between the responsibilities of the Licence Holder and the RP
- Tasks which are the Licence Holder’s specific responsibility
Our Licence Holder Training is a 2 hour session that is hosted by one of our RPs in a small group.

“The trainer Wes was amazeballs. She showed deep knowledge in the subject matter and was very engaging”
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.
Having just completed the very informative API and Clinical Trail course (thank you Shankar) I was reminded of the traps we can fall into whereby we try to keep ourselves in our little boxes. At the MHRA symposium, I have heard several times comments such as:- “no, I’m not doing the GMP day as it’s not relevant to me” or “GDP? Oh, that doesn’t apply to us as we are manufacturers”. I am sure these comments were made well out of the earshot of MHRA personnel and on the face of it seem harmless enough, though clearly wrong.
I truly believe that we should all expand our knowledge and understanding as much as possible, and certainly where there are crossovers with our speciality. For a Pharmacist or wholesaler, knowing more about GMP, APIs and Clinical Trials must be useful in our ability to fulfil our obligations in our own field. Yes, some aspects of GMP are very technical but there are big parts of it that can be used positively in the GDP arena.
As my exasperated tutors used to say during my pharmacy degree, “you will only get the most out of the topic and excel, if you read around the subject”.
“The gem is the trainer’s real world prospect on MHRA Inspector’s expectations” Cogent Online Training – July 2021

“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
