Cogent SSC Announce Gold Standard for RPs

Cogent SSC Gold Standard for RPs.

 

Talking of this development, Mark Birse, Group Manager GMDP Inspections at MHRA commented “Responsible Persons play a vital part in ensuring the quality and the integrity of medicinal products are maintained throughout the distribution chain. It’s essential that they have the right knowledge, demonstrate competence and deploy the right skills so that patients and healthcare professionals have the confidence and trust to use medicines.

“We completely support the decision by industry to adopt the Gold Standard framework to standardise the requirements for the Responsible Person as it will generate a template for excellence in this role for the future.”

 

Do you work to a Cogent gold standard? Do you really need to?

It can vary on your operation, as some models are inherently low risk, but at Paradigm we recommend aiming for excellence… because if you miss, you’ll still be ahead of many of the competition.

We are keen to see the exact costs and time required to achieve the Cogent gold standard, and give our opinion, but as it stands we are all for higher quality standards.
