- RP in practice: self-inspections, validation, deviation management, and export/import
The 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.
The EU GDP Guidelines require wholesale distributors to appoint a Responsible Person (RP) for GDP. According to Chapter 2, 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 his or her duties in such a way as to ensure that the wholesale distributor can demonstrate GDP compliance and that public service obligations are met.
In this Live Online Training, the role and responsibilities of the Responsible Person for GDP will be highlighted and discussed.
