Cogent approved
RSSL has been providing Responsible Person training since 2012. Our latest Cogent Gold Standard Approved online and classroom courses incorporate the very latest regulatory aspects, best practice, customer and industry input.
If your organisation already has or is applying for a Wholesale Dealers Authorisation (WDA) they must a have a Responsible Person (RP) named on the license. The RP must ensure compliance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and fully understand the legal responsibilities of an organisation holding a Wholesale Dealers Authorisation (WDA) license. Thereby, ensuring all medicinal products are purchased and sold within the legal supply chain and receive the correct handling, transportation, storage and distribution of medicinal products.
Another core requirement of Good Distribution Practice is to have a well-designed Quality Management System (QMS) with a focus on compliance and continual improvement. The Responsible Person is legally required to ensure the QMS is implemented by maintaining oversite of its routine operation. This area will be covered in detail as it has been highlighted by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency as the number 1 area deficiencies are found during inspections for several years.
Classroom courses - please note, the advertised venue may need to be changed, if the required number of delegates is not met. In this situation, the course will be converted to an Online Virtual course and all delegates notified accordingly. The decision regarding the venue will be made at least 4 weeks before the course is due to run.

This course has been designed for people who are seeking to be named as a Responsible Person on a Wholesale Dealers Licence (WDA). However, the content is also relevant in the education of those who are involved in the procurement and sale of medicinal products, including Wholesale Dealers Authorisation holders. Similarly people who are involved in the selection of organisations involved in the storage and transport of finished products, as well as supplier auditors who audit such organisations will find this course beneficial to enhance their knowledge of what to expect during site visits.
Existing RP’s may also find the course is a valuable part of their Continuous Professional Development particularly those who have performed the role for a number of years. If you are a Qualified Person (QP) who needs a detailed appreciation of GDP and the role of an RP or maybe looking to be named as an RP, but concerned that you don’t have the depth of knowledge required then you will be most welcome and may find the interactive nature of the course of significant benefit.
The course includes the following topics and reinforced using group exercises:
