“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

Very informative and delivered well. It was a good introduction into a subject I haven’t dealt with before.
Jackie kept the course “light & breezy”
“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

Megan – Course Rating 10/10
“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
“The training was well presented and interaction with other participants was encouraged and helpful. I attended the online course previously but this was far superior and was very helpful in giving me information and advice that I would not have received from the online course. Very enjoyable!” – RL, Health Grove Ltd, November 2024

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.

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.

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!

I am new to GDP and the trainer was very patient with my endless questions and answered them all with rounded practical answers that i can take back to my workplace and implement.
Shirley Clifton – Ashford and St Peters Hospital
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 trainer was highly skilled and professional. We now feel very well informed and supported to start our critical GDP inspection.
We contracted PCL provide us with help and guidance and training, relating to pharmaceutical transportation, we found Jackie and her team to be helpful, knowledgeable and pragmatic in their advice. The training sessions went well and were very useful in helping us understand the subject.
We looked long and hard for an industry expert in this field and we certainly found one in PCL.

“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.

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.

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.
