Responsible Person Forum

RP Forum for Monthly Insights and Best Practices in Good Distribution Practice

Our Responsible Person (RP) Forum provides an opportunity for networking, sharing best practice and discussing current issues with practicing RPs and colleagues working in the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) field. Each month has a defined topic, as follows: 

  

  • July 2025 - Managing Unlicensed Medicines

  • September 2025 - Returns, Recalls, Complaints

  • November 2025 - Managing Regulatory Audits

 

The world of GDP has developed significantly over the past few years, with many regulatory agencies (including the MHRA) putting it under the spotlight. With the impact of Brexit still being felt, supply chains for pharmaceutical products sourced from the European Union are more complex with additional requirements for RPs .  

 

We recognise that there is a need to do more to assist the industry in creating an environment that supports the role and responsibilities of Responsible Persons for GDP, logistic managers and other individuals involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain industry. These webinars are designed to support your knowledge and keep you updated with the evolving landscape in which the RP must operate.

An excellent course with knowledgeable speakers

I am not an RP and act as a deputy for our RP, so the level and information I received during the course was excellent and backed up some gaps in my knowledge. It was good to talk to other RPs and discuss best practice with regards to GDP, for example what needs to be done when you have issues and how to escalate issues, and what steps should be considered. This is an excellent course with knowledgeable speakers who are open to discussions and questions.
