Why GDP?

GDP, Good Distribution Practice, governs the storage and distribution of medicines from manufacturing to pharmacies (or other point of sale) and healthcare. In practice, this means: the right medicine in the right place at the right time and with the right quality.

All functions in a GDP-controlled business need to know and follow GDP. Your knowledge must be documented and repeated or deepened annually.

“The course is available in versions adapted for, for example, company management and drivers/transport. Having a common reference and “speaking the same language” within the organization usually helps to reach the same (quality) goals,” says Director of Continuing Professional Development, Sandra Trost.
