Are you filled with apprehension when a GMP Inspection is on the horizon? Does the mere thought of navigating through GMP Inspections leave you feeling stressed and uncertain? Are you seeking enhanced support from your colleagues to tackle the intricacies of GMP Inspections effectively? If you resonate with these concerns, then our course on the Management of GMP Inspections is tailored to address your needs.

It is vital that pharmaceutical companies plan carefully for all Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspections, as a successful outcome is required for continued operations. It is of fundamental importance to manage the entire process to ensure the best outcome possible. This course will focus on those practical aspects from preparation through to follow-up after the inspection. It will focus on UK MHRA inspections and their approach to the whole inspection process.  It will cover announced, unannounced and for cause inspections.

This is a highly practical course covering management of GMP inspections from initial preparation, to hosting the actual inspection and follow up from the inspection. It is suitable for any company or NHS site with a site authorisation associated with any activities involved in the manufacture of medicinal products.

This course is essential learning for personnel working in quality, at all levels, whether in quality compliance, quality systems, quality operations or any other quality related role. It will also be of great benefit to other functions involved in a GMP inspection, including but not limited to Production, Quality Control, Engineering/Facilities, Vendor Assurance, and IT. The course could also be beneficial for trainee QPs who may have limited understanding of the challenges involved but who will be expected to be closely involved when they are a QP named on the site licence.

Learn all about GMP Inspections, using the UK approach as the model, so you can be as well prepared as possible and be able to effectively manage any undesired outcomes covering such topics as:


  • What is the basis for GMP inspections and what may trigger them
  • Legislation & Guidelines available

  • Practical tips on how to prepare thoroughly for any GMP inspection
  • Guidance on how to manage the actual inspection; including potentially difficult situations
  • Details on how to follow up from an inspection 
  • How to maximise your chances of a successful inspection and achieving the desired outcome

    By the end of this course you will have gained:


    • Understanding the Inspection process from the regulator’s viewpoint
    • Aware of how to prepare carefully for a GMP inspection and what can be in scope
    • Understand some of the practical challenges of managing an inspection and how these can be successfully overcome
