Good Distribution Practice

The proper storage and distribution of pharmaceuticals can be just as critical to patient health as their proper manufacture. Drug stability and efficacy can be seriously affected by malpractice, and without proper procedures being followed it could prove impossible to trace and recall a drug that is in need of being withdrawn. Yet, despite its importance, training in the art of Good Distribution Practices (GDP) has been relatively neglected.

RSSL Pharma Training has introduced a new training course to explain GDP as defined by Directive 2001/83/EC, Directive 2004/27/EC, and the EU Guidelines on Good Distribution of Medicinal Products for Human Use 94/C63/03.  It will cover the regulatory requirements and constraints facing wholesalers and distributors of pharmaceutical products.

The highly interactive course offers a practical explanation of the guideline for those who are active in the field of setting up and implementing GDP, and the management of quality systems. It is aimed at any company that has or is considering obtaining an MHRA Wholesale Dealer's License, including Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Pharmaceutical Suppliers and Contractors, Active Ingredient and Excipient Manufacturers, Wholesalers/Distributors, Logistics Companies and Contract Laboratories.  It will take place on 27th November 2006.
