Responsible Person Refresher

RP Refresher Training for Competence and Compliance in GDP

This is a one-day refresher course for Responsible Persons (RP) and Deputy RPs that have already attended their initial RP Cogent-approved training and are keen to continue their professional development, keeping abreast of this evolving industry and the changing role of the RP within it. 

  

With MHRA inspectors expecting to see evidence of such training on your file and Section 2.4 of Directive 2013/C 343/01 stating that RPs should receive regular training to maintain their competence in GDP, RPs should look to attend training every 18-24 months.  

 

This course is designed to meet this ongoing requirement, updating you on any regulation changes, sharing best practice ideas, suggesting how to address common deficiencies and discussing industry hot topics. 

 

In addition, the course provides the opportunity to network and share experiences with other RPs in a collaborative, open environment.

Who Should Attend

This course is aimed at practicing RPs and Deputy RPs who have already undertaken initial RP training but who need to keep updated with current regulations and expectations of the competent authorities for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This ‘update’ course would also benefit quality managers and personnel in regulatory, compliance, distribution, warehousing, supply chain management and customer service who would benefit from understanding the revised key GDP quality components necessary to operate as a holder of an MHRA or EU. 

 

Note, it is not a suitable alternative for those yet to have undertaken their initial RP training.
