Is the Forum for me?

We will be covering topics such as

Dawn ran a very informative session about GDP guidance and the role of the Responsible Person. This helped me understand further about my role as the Responsible Person and how to stay 100% compliant according to the guidelines. I also picked up key points on what to look for when looking at potential suppliers and warehouse facilities. All together an excellent session, worth every penny!

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.

“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

Waisain Al-Shamary was a lovely tutor – she allowed people to contribute and she managed a couple of strong characters with
grace and patience – December 2020
“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
“Steven ensured class participation and sharing of case studies within our group. Kept everyone motivated. It was interesting for me to see what my customers need to do to remain GDP compliant after delivering Imports and before collecting their Exports. ” – JS, Nippon Express (UK) Ltd, Cogent, January 2025
