Testimonials
“The participants involved came from many fields that would be involved in this business from the manufacturers through to the distributors and transport sector which was extremely helpful. This 3 day course covered a wide and varied structure on the Good Distribution Practice of Medicinal Products for Human use and was carried out in a very informal environment making it more relaxed for everyone involved, using both written work and group “brain-storming” sessions. The trainer was very experienced in all fields covered and was therefore able to give us many scenarios which may occur in the process of handling medicinal products, with each topic thoroughly covered. This course was carried out very professionally and I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone”.
Carolyn Morgan, DSV Air & Sea Ltd.
“ The GDP training program which I have attended for the last six years has been invaluable in developing my knowledge in an ever growing and demanding industry. The friendly atmosphere and dialogue is essential in helping GDP professionals acquire the information they need to be expert in their field. A much needed programme”
