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.
What do you do to keep up to date with changing legislation and regulations and ensure your knowledge is 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

- Bona Fides
- Professional Bodies
And many more topics.

“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 has proved to be a very knowledgeable and professional recruitment consultant, All communications have been very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie.
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 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
“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 Audit training course presented by experienced RP and lots of useful interactions with participants.” – Audit Training, January 2025
“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.

Anonymous – 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”.
“Excellent trainer, very informative.”

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!
