Is the Forum for me?

We will be covering topics such as
- Inspection Preparation

“I found this course much more interesting and accessible than i thought it would be. Nicely paced with enough information to be challenging and thought provoking but not overwhelming. A few of the initials could do with explaining though.”
Jennifer Kirby – Course Rating 9/10
“I really enjoyed the course and will recommend it highly to anyone planning to apply for WDA or training to become RP. The Tutor was very knowledgeable and experienced. I learnt so much from the training so I can only thank you.”
Cogent Online Training – March 2022
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 great trainer and knows our contract, so it is good to have him training us all at the same time.
And, thank you to him for making it engaging and enjoyable.

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.

The material was clear, and the examples provided were helpful in understanding the key concepts. I especially appreciated the practical application tips shared. Brian did an excellent job of explaining complex topics in an easy-to-understand manner. The pace was just right, and the interactive elements kept the session engaging. I`m so glad I`ve decided to have the training face to face, it really makes a difference in terms of engagement.” – Cogent RP Training – November 2024

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.

“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
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.
“MHRA GDP guidelines are numerous and specific and potentially serious if not followed. The training went through each point in a common sense way, so the guidelines have appeared far more admirable and attainable.”
Philip Hodgkinson – Course Rating 10/10
“A really useful day.”
Martin – Course Rating 10/10
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!
