Very good overview of GDP requirements which has given me a much better understanding of client requirements for the services and products we supply.

“Great course from a knowledgeable trainer. Remote webinar worked perfectly and still enabled interaction and group discussion. Trainer was also extremely helpful with advice after the course was over. Would recommend to anyone” Cogent Online Training – April 2021
I found the information very useful and interesting. I will use the information given in the future for orders I do and also to check all relevant procedures that are needed.
Very informative, Jackie created a relaxed atmosphere which was conducive to active participation of the whole group. Jackie also provided a summary of the recent MHRA convention which was very beneficial.

“Excellent and well run course, we covered a lot of information in a structured and detailed fashion. Steven our trainer, was super knowledgeable and always happy to interact with the group and answer questions during the sessions. Many Thanks” – Cogent RP Training – October 2024
Very good content and well presented.

“Training was well laid out and followed a great structure. The trainer was very very good and very attentive”
“Excellent training, thorough explanations and enjoyable throughout.”
David Lane – Course Rating 9/10
“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
“For someone with a bare minimal knowledge of WDA this course helped understand the legal, general and business complexities quite well.” Cogent Online Training – March 2021
“Excellent from start to finish – 5 stars!” Cogent Online Training – February 2021

Craig Buzzard – Course Rating 9/10
“The API training course provides a good framework foundation focused on API distribution.
I only wish I had found the API course much earlier, it would have saved me months of puzzling on some issues relating API importation and distribution. I am a novice when it comes to Medicinal product regulatory compliance. For months I have been rolling in the Green Guide but the Green Guide focuses mostly on Finished Form medicine, so I end up with just as many questions at the beginning, albeit a different set of questions. The API course finally answers my fundamental questions on API distribution, and yes I have a plenty of Q&A time with the trainer which is of great benefit to me.
I am so pleased with the API course, I immediately start working with one of their consultants on specific issues I face in my company.
.” Yu Wang, Donglun Ltd – API Training, July 2021
“Very Informative course. I have learnt a lot of new information and the training was given in a relaxed environment. Thank you for making the learning as interesting as possible.”

“Very informative and lots of opportunity to ask questions and speak with other people on the course.”
Megan – Course Rating 10/10
“Really enjoyed the training session over the last 3 days, John was a great presenter who did really well considering he had an
audience from all over the UK…infact the world! I’m sure the face to face/classroom style presentation would have been more
interactive as I certainly missed being able to bounce off others but this is no fault of John or the course contents. Learned so
much from the past few days, more than I actually realised that I would. Thank you!” February 2021
Pharmacy Consulting has helped manage our Company through all GDP compliance and RP training requirements, It is a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team. 10/10 –
“Very efficient and effective. Covered all areas of training.” – John Elliott KWE
Our trainer Jackie was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. If I ever require help or further assistance, I would not hesitate to contact Jackie and I would certainly recommend her for the services as a consultant and higher knowledge.
” There was a lot to take in, the course was very detailed”
John Sie Han Woag – Course Rating 9/10
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”.
Pharmacy Consulting have provided us with a prompt and professional service, including advice, GDP training and helping us with a robust customised Quality System.
During this time they have been committed to fully understanding our company needs and have consistently delivered excellent service.
I would highly recommend PCL to any business for peace of mind and sound professional advice.

Again, I stress how much I appreciate all your help, both today and through the whole journey of us striving to obtain our WDA(H).
I found the course on Training to be a responsible person to be a very well thought and structured course which gave me the roles and resources to come away understanding the training given. It was very informative, topical and saved me time and money trying to wade through a minefield of work to become a responsible person – Jackie is highly qualified and delivers an excellent course, would highly recommend to anyone looking at wholesaling.
Good knowledge and practical insight into the requirements.
Very interesting presentation which allowed me to gain a proper overview of the GDP process.

“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

Pharmacy Consulting have provided our business with excellent support, advice and training with regard to obtaining Wholesale Dealers Authorisation following the implementation of European Commission Guidelines of 5 November 2013 on Good Distribution Practice, 2013/C 343/01. I would like to personally thank Dawn and her team for her personal assistance in securing the authorisation.
This session has been very informative and an eye opener. Jackie was excellent in her delivery.
Kim was helpful at answering all my questions and advise on how to do things independently or with the help of PCL.

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!
