Responsible Person Forum
Our Responsible Person (RP) Forum provides an opportunity for networking, sharing best practice and discussing current issues with practicing RPs and colleagues working in the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) field. Each month has a defined topic, as follows:
November 2024 - Quality Culture, its impact on GDP and benefits for the RP
January 2025 – Transportation (Managing Transport Deviations and Route Risk Assessments)
February 2025 – Risk Management Workshop
May 2025 – GDP Responsibilities vs Licenses
The world of GDP has developed significantly over the past few years, with many regulatory agencies (including the MHRA) putting it under the spotlight. With the impact of Brexit still being felt, supply chains for pharmaceutical products sourced from the European Union are more complex with additional requirements for RPs .
We recognise that there is a need to do more to assist the industry in creating an environment that supports the role and responsibilities of Responsible Persons for GDP, logistic managers and other individuals involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain industry. These webinars are designed to support your knowledge and keep you updated with the evolving landscape in which the RP must operate.
Interested in responsible person training for your team? Contact us today.
Although predominately aimed at RPs, this webinar will interest those who are working in Good Distribution Practice for medicinal products, employed by a company that has a MHRA/EU Wholesale Distribution Authorisation (WDA) license.
Whether you are a RP, deputy RP, Quality manager or working within in a QA regulatory/compliance or logistics role, if you are keen to update to your knowledge, in particular relating to the latest current regulations in GDP, you are welcome to join this forum.
Each month has a defined topic, as follows:
January 2025 – Transportation (Managing Transport Deviations and Route Risk Assessments)
February 2025 – Risk Management Workshop
May 2025 – GDP Responsibilities vs Licenses

Network with industry colleagues
Share best practice
Discuss current issues with RSSL experts, other RPs and colleagues working in GDP
