This GDP training course has been specifically tailored to cover the needs of logistics staff, such as drivers, who need to understand the importance of GDP but not necessarily the same aspects as those in warehouses or suppliers. Regulations in Europe & US state that all participants of all aspects of medicinal distribution must comply with the principles and guidelines of GDP.
