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
- Goods Vehicle Movement
- Distance Selling Guidelines
- Bona Fides
- Professional Bodies
And many more topics.

Why Consider Us for this course?
These forums are intended for operational RPs and quality departments focusing on aspects of the RP role, quality challenges and operation difficulties within the Pharmaceutical distribution sector.
Testimonials
“Great delivery by Brian, thought his presentation was well spoken and easy to follow, impressed with his knowledge on tricky Q&A” – GDP, October 2023
“The gem is the trainer’s real world prospect on MHRA Inspector’s expectations” Cogent Online Training – July 2021
“Steven ensured class participation and sharing of case studies within our group. Kept everyone motivated. 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
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”
“Mr. Brian Lindsay has been a down to earth trainer. His approach to the GDP and training has been excellent, and i personally have gained a wealth of knowledge that made me appreciate what GDP actually means.”
Mr Sanjay Budhdeo – Course rating 10/10
“Excellent from start to finish – 5 stars !”
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
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.
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.
Tracy Tollervey from CPG – Logistic.
“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
“Wes was brilliant, encouraged us to be interactive and answered all the questions we posed. She was positive and patient. Fantastic trainer”
“The training was well structured and everything covered was relevant and will be easily applied to our working environment. The trainers were very knowledgeable and ensured there was interaction from the group throughout. The time length of the course was perfect and this helped with keeping the group engaged. Would highly recommend this course/structure.” – VR – UHB NHS Logistics, CD Training, September 2024
“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
Great training session provided by Jackie. Could consider providing additional training material (sample forms and documents) for clients apart from the GDP guidelines.
This session has been very informative and an eye opener. Jackie was excellent in her delivery.
“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.
Isatec on site training – Andrew King
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”.
“Many thanks to Brain the trainer”

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.

“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
