Why Consider us for this Course?
If you work in a company who imports from outside the UK, you need to nominate a Responsible Person for Imports (RPi).
The RPi has an important role in ensuring that only bona fide quality medicines are imported into the UK. They are there to ensure appropriate checks and systems are in place, and there is evidence of this.
To register as an RPi you must have undergone suitable training and understand the industry. RPi’s will have a legal responsibility to ensure that imported medicines are certified by a Qualified Person prior to being placed on the UK market. If you are named on the Qualified Persons register you are eligible to act as a RPi, however you must still register.
The course is beneficial for anyone in the pharmaceutical industry, to help them understand the role and scope of the RPi, and how to register.
