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.

Testimonials
“Good training, has given me more insight as an RP. Would recommend new RP’s to have this training.”
Matthew – Course Rating 10/10
“Excellent course, trainer and material were superb.” – KT, Hameln Pharma Ltd – Cogent RP Training – April 2024
“It is always difficult to provide and undertake virtual training. Wes did well getting through all the material and encouraged
interaction among the group. This was difficult but at times good discussion did open up. There were no technical difficulties in
terms of the training provision, and everything ran to time, if not a bit quicker than expected. I did enjoy it and remained engaged throughout.
There was a lot of content and to begin with I felt a little overwhelmed and anxious about the five assessments
looming at the end. However Wes reassured us that we had the info we would be needing and rather than worry about taking notes, better to listen and take in the lesson. Which worked. I gained some useful insights which I will take back to work. I go back feeling much better equipped to aid the RP with our QMS.” November 2020
“As participants, we were all able to interact, engage and shared a worth of knowledge and opinion from various industries. This made the sessions very informative, valuable and interesting.”

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.

I have really enjoyed the training. Zul is a very good communicator and very approachable. 🙂
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.
“Excellent from start to finish – 5 stars !”
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!

“Course was very informative and taught/explained very well.”
Craig – 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.
“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
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 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
“Very informative and very helpful. Brian was very professional and very patient with our numerous questions. Thank you.”
Catherine Hodges – Course Rating 10/10
“Enjoyed the course. Informative and interesting. Presented in an engaging way that encouraged questions and dialogue. Would recommend it to others” – Cogent Responsible Person Training – February 2024
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.
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.

“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
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.
“Very clear, simple to follow. Interactive. Helpful.”
