ANNUAL GDP REFRESHER TRAINING

The Responsible Person, Management and personnel of any business with a WDA licence are expected to take refresher training and continual professional development on Good Distribution Practice to maintain compliance.

Paradigm Shift Consulting Limited is an ISO 9001:2015 certified and Cogent assured training provider and has a wide range of GDP courses for all personnel, management and RPs available online throughout the year. (Visit the Paradigm GDP Training website via the link button at the foot of this article.)

Our popular online intensive one day webinar (Good Distribution Practice for RPs and Management) covers all the major key factors of GDP compliance as required by the current GDP Guidelines and MHRA expectations. It also includes updates to regulations, so you can be sure that the information you acquire is current. We also provide significant volumes of electronic materials for your CPD needs.

It is the management’s responsibility to ensure relevant, regular refresher training (at a minimum annually) to gain or maintain competence so that the company remains within GDP compliance and that you remain abreast of changes in regulations that may occur within the MHRA Human Medicines Regulations (2012) or the European GDP Guidelines (2013/C 343/01).

The GDP Training Webinar

The webinar is a focused intensive 1 day course which includes interactive breakouts, Q&A’s and short exercises. You will be asked to complete an online “pre-test” in advance of the webinar, which will gauge your current knowledge of Good Distribution Practice.

The webinar itself will take you through all the major topics including (but not limited to):

~ Standard Operating Procedures
~ Data Integrity
~ CAPAs (Corrective Action / Preventive Action)
~ Documentation
~ Transportation
~ Risk Assessment
~ Quality Control
~ The roles of the RPs and Licence holder
~ Equipment Validation
~ Qualification of Suppliers
~ Import/Export
~ Storage
~ Returns
~ Fake/Falsified Medicines
~ Outsourcing
~ Inspections (Self and Audits)

The final Post-test assignment must be taken within the 4 weeks following the webinar and will be hand-marked by our examiners.
A preliminary attendance document and a successful completion/pass certificate is stored in your online account.
