How to Perform Bullet-Proof Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and Good Storage Practices (GSP) Audits In-house Training

Part of Audit Essentials: From Interviews to Inspections series:

Course overview

Adhering to Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and Good Storage Practices (GSP) is essential to ensure that pharmaceutical products reach patients and healthcare providers in optimal condition, thereby safeguarding patient health and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is as crucial to store, transport, and distribute products in a manner that preserves their quality and integrity as it is to manufacture them.

This training is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of GDP and GSP principles and best practices. You will learn the key aspects of distribution and storage systems, including temperature control, traceability, documentation, and risk management, to ensure compliance with international regulations (such as those set by the FDA, WHO, and the EU) and industry standards.

By the end of this training, you will have the practical skills and knowledge to implement robust distribution and storage practices within your organisation. Whether you are managing a warehouse, overseeing logistics, or working in quality assurance, this programme will equip you to ensure that pharmaceutical products are handled and transported in full compliance with GDP and GSP requirements.
