Zielsetzung

The EU-GDP Guidelines require that wholesale distributors have to appoint a Responsible Person (RP) for GDP. There has been a lot of discussion about the duties of the RP. Therefore, the ECA Foundation’s GDP Working Group has developed this training course. In this course, the role and responsibilities of the Responsible Person for GDP will be highlighted and discussed.

Hintergrund

In 2013 the “Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice of Medicinal Products for Human Use” were published. The Guidelines were revised to take into account advancements of practices for an appropriate storage and distribution of medicinal products in the European Union.

In Chapter 2 “Personnel”, tasks and responsibilities of the RP are defined. RPs should fulfil their responsibilities personally and should be continuously contactable. The RP should have appropriate competence and experience as well as knowledge of and training in GDP. He or she may delegate duties but not responsibilities. The RP should carry out their duties in such a way as to ensure that the wholesale distributor can demonstrate GDP compliance and that public service obligations are met.

Zielgruppe

The Training Course is of particular interest to Responsible Persons but also management and quality personnel from pharmaceutical companies, wholesalers, distributors and service providers involved in distribution of medicinal products.

Roadmap to Good Distribution Practice

All participants receive a Roadmap to Good Distribution Practice containing:
  • An overview of the designated Responsibilities for Senior Management, Responsible Person and Authority
  • Checklist for the implementation of GDP principles
