Do you feel isolated as an inhouse RP?
Come join our RP Forum. Guaranteed to have experienced RP Consultants on every forum. Ask your questions, provide and share experiences in a controlled manner to increase your knowledge pool and keep your industry knowledge up to date.
It is sometimes a rather lonely role as the sole RP in an organisation.

These sessions could be an easy way to address just one small part of your role on a regular basis, and a great opportunity to meet and discuss hot topics with other RPs. Join us for our open discussion forums they take just an hour out of your time.
Is the Forum for me?
- In a nutshell YES – there is something for everyone.
- Succinct focussed sessions looking at just one aspect of the RP role.
- All forum attendees will receive a certificate of attendance.
- Every forum follows a similar format where we have a short presentation from the host (an RP) and then we open the floor for questions and discussion.
- Additionally if you have a topic you would like to see covered, or a particular question – we encourage you to contact us.
We will be covering topics such as
- Inspection Preparation
- Temperature Mapping
- Packaging
- Transportation Options
- Goods Vehicle Movement
- Distance Selling Guidelines
- Bona Fides
- Professional Bodies
And many more topics.

The GPD session at PCL enabled me to focus on the really important things when it comes to getting your wholesale licence.

“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
The training was delivered in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The elements of the training were explained in a clear and concise manner and the course was tailored around your individual requirements. The day was enjoyable and I would not hesitate to use your company again.

Informative & Interactive. Thank you.
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!

“Good informative training, very helpful for the future.” GDP Online Training – May 2021
The day was fun and I enjoyed the review of GDP requirements!
Excellent content and delivery. After the GDP/RP training course I’m feeling informed and empowered to ensure compliance.
“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.

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.

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”.
/”Very informative and put in an easy to understand way. The course was explained so I can say i left feeling that I understood my role going forward. Thank you.
Marie Wakeham – Course Rating 9/10
Both Jackie and Sandeep made it really easy to understand the content – they encouraged discussion but also made sure that focus was given to areas specific to the attendees.
Overall I enjoyed the course and found it far less overwhelming than I expected.
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
Lots of information and keeps you engaged.
Isatec on site training – Abbey Tullett
“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
“Excellent training sessions provided. I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned in all sessions. Steven presented and taught the content very well and was very knowledgeable about all topics, and supported further with any adhoc questions through the training. Thank you :)” – Cogent RP Training – April 2024
Good knowledge and practical insight into the requirements.
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).
Our trainer Jackie was extremely knowledgeable and the way how the material was presented was very interesting. I found her also very helpful, explaining every questions and doubts perfectly. I would highly recommend Jackie as a trainer and also as a consultant.
“Good Training day, thank you.”
