Course Overview:

The pharmaceutical supply chain spans multiple countries and partners, creating challenges in traceability, quality oversight, and regulatory compliance. Global regulators have responded by strengthening requirements to protect product integrity. In the U.S., the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) introduced a national electronic track-and-trace system, while the EU continues to reinforce its Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards. These developments emphasise that all personnel involved in procurement, distribution, logistics, and supplier oversight must understand their responsibilities and contribute to a strong quality system.

This training provides a practical overview of global supply chain expectations, key regulatory frameworks, and risk-based strategies that help organisations maintain compliant and reliable distribution practices.
