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.

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

And many more topics.

Testimonials
We loved your training at Niche!
” Very useful day with a good overview of MHRA GMP and GDP process, procedures and roles and responsibilities. Thank you Jackie.”
Andrew King – Course rating 9/10
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.
“Excellent from start to finish – 5 stars!” Cogent Online Training – February 2021
“I would like to thank Brian for coming up to us – he made a difficult subject easy to understand and also helped us with real life
scenarios – not just following the curriculum, which whilst hurt our timescales – was much more beneficial for us.” Cogent (Face to Face) Training – November 2021
Very useful day with a good overview of MHRA GMP & GDP process, procedures and roles and responsibilities.

“Felt that the trainer was exceptional and had a thorough knowledge of the Regulations, course and Pharma industry as a whole. Would love to do the RPi course with him” – NK, Ceva Logistics – Cogent RP Training, May 2024
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”.
“Steve is a fantastic trainer with a wealth of knowledge and the ability to be able to apply that knowledge to real life situations. Fantastic course extremely well delivered. Thank you.” – MM, Kuehne+Nagel – Cogent RP Training – April 2024
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.

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.

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!

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
Pharmacy consulting helped us to map our warehouse and also to map our new pharmacy fridge they were much cheaper that the other quotes we had and they also trained up the staff on the cold chain SOPs we had jointly written. Thank you Jackie for all your help!
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.
The course is very informative and comprehensive which covers all aspects of EU GDP guidelines.
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.
“One of the best Teams training sessions I have attended. It was clear, concise and pitched at the right level. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable, articulate and presented the subject well.” – DW, University Hospitals Birmingham, CD Training – September 2024
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.

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.

“Highly recommended”
Kim was helpful at answering all my questions and advise on how to do things independently or with the help of PCL.
“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
Jackie is very knowledgeable, I have learnt so much from her in so little time. Thank you Jackie for being a fountain of knowledge!

“This is the pharma cogent course “ronseal” excellent through the whole process”
“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
“Very informative and John was able to demonstrate a great knowledge of export. Having already completed Pharmacy Consulting’s GDP training, I was able to understand the content and what John was explaining in regard to export”
