Objectives

The aim of this conference is to inform about recent experiences made in the implementation of the EU-GDP Guidelines.
Challenges and possible solutions will be discussed and examples will demonstrate how the requirements can be put into practice.

Background

It is of key importance that medicinal products are not only made to a high quality in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), but that the quality and integrity of these products are maintained through the entire supply chain to the patient. This is where Good Distribution Practice (GDP) comes into play.

In the last few years the world of GDP has changed in scope and complexity and continues to evolve to meet new challenges with the continued aim of safeguarding public health. The Falsified Medicines Directive (2011/62/EU) was transposed into the laws and regulations of the EU Member States alongside the introduction of revised EU guidelines on Good Distribution Practice. Many other countries followed adopting these Guidelines or implementing very similar approaches.

Target Group

All personnel involved in pharmaceutical storage, transportation, cold chain and distribution activities and the control of those activities.

Free copy of the GDP Guidance on interpretation and implementation

Every participant will get a free copy of the GDP Guidance on interpretation and implementation, a joint publication of the ECA Foundation and the
Pharmaceutical Quality Group of the Chartered Quality Institute.
