CPD Hours: 14

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) plays a critical role in ensuring that medicinal products and medical devices are stored, handled, and transported in a way that preserves their quality and integrity. This course provides a practical introduction to GDP principles and their application within regulated supply chains, giving participants a clear understanding of the quality, regulatory, and operational requirements for compliant distribution.

The programme also explores how risk-based thinking, clear procedures, and modern technologies support a reliable and resilient supply chain. Real-world examples and discussions illustrate how GDP requirements can be effectively implemented in day-to-day operations.

Format and Course Length

The course will be delivered as an online virtual-classroom training session.

Participants will be provided with a PDF of the training material in advance of the training should they wish to print and annotate notes. Participants will be connected to the trainer and other participants via online collaboration tool Zoom with connected video (webcam / screen sharing) and audio (computer audio or phone dial-in). Theory will be delivered by the trainer sharing their screen of the PowerPoint presentation. Facilitated workshops will be run in digital breakout rooms (e.g. a group of 12 might split into 4 breakout rooms each with 3 participants to separately work on a problem). Breakout rooms can call the trainer in for support when required and the trainer can electronically bring everyone back to the main session to debrief when appropriate.

The training will be delivered as 2 full day sessions with breaks.

PDF Certificates will be provided to participants electronically.
