In the training "GDP - Good Distribution Practice," we provide trainees with the necessary knowledge of GDP to ensure the quality of medicines throughout the distribution chain, from manufacturer to patient. Everyone involved in the distribution of medicines must comply with the Good Distribution Practice Guideline (2013/C 343/01). Through a combination of theory and practical assignments, employees gain the experience and skills needed to apply GDP in their daily work.

Target audience

  • Employees directly or indirectly involved in the storage and or transportation of medicinal products.
  • If you work as a Responsible Person or intend to start doing so, we recommend you to participate in the training GDP - Responsible Person.

Approach

GDP - Good Distribution Practice is an interactive training at mbo/hbo level. During this training we pay a lot of attention to the risks for product quality in the distribution of medicines. We also discuss the legal framework, regulatory requirements and recent developments. We teach participants how to set up a quality management system and its main components. We also discuss the importance of documentation, points for attention in case of returns, recalls and the principles of the Rapid Alert System, risk management, validation and monitoring.
