GDP Compliance Managers and Responsible Persons from organizations such as manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and service providers involved in the distribution and supply of medicinal products

Objectives

This Live Online Training provides practical guidance to bring and keep your organisation in compliance with the GDP regulations.
 
Background
 
The globalization of the pharmaceutical supply chain has introduced significant challenges to the manufacturing and distribu-
tion of medicinal products across various markets.

While the EU GDP Guidelines have been in force since 2013, many questions continue to arise regarding their practical implementation. The guidelines emphasize the importance of a robust quality management system, supported by thorough risk assessments and effective controls.

This two-day Live Online Training is specifically designed to provide the latest insights into current regulatory expectations and standards for Good Distribution Practice (GDP). Participants will gain practical tools and guidance to identify gaps in their Quality systems and to develop and implement effective action plans.
