Course Objectives

An entry level course designed to go above and beyond just repeating GDP awareness and your company SOPs. The focus is on engaging and educating the learner on the real reasons for having GDP in the first place.


Expected Course Outcome

The course is led by former MHRA inspectors who will be looking to share their knowledge and experiences to ensure the learner goes away with a solid understanding of the importance of key concepts and why their role matters to the integrity of the pharmaceutical supply chain. There will be an increased confidence in their role and the contribution they can make in the workplace.


Special features

  • Former MHRA Inspector led teaching and exercise sessions.
  • Practical, pragmatic approach to training, using real-world examples.
  • All delegates will receive comprehensive course documentation.
  • Certificate of Attendance issued by the trainers.
  • Interactive learning approaches, with open questions


Training audience

The Training Course is designed for those who are new to the pharmaceutical industry or have changed roles. It is suitable for all levels within the organisation as the key concepts are applicable to all. The course would also make an ideal annual GDP update of knowledge.

The course can also be delivered as an in-house course, either on site or remote, permitting a focus on specific topics appropriate to the company.
