Navigating Regulatory Requirements for Medicinal Products

ProPharma's quality assurance professionals enhance your internal capabilities to ensure the consistency and safety of products. Our team acts as an extension of your Quality Unit, utilizing a hands-on and risk-based approach to quickly improve quality and compliance while implementing practical solutions for your organization.

Enhancing Quality with Qualified Person Services

To procure, sell and distribute medicinal products in the EU and the UK markets you need a Wholesaler Dealer Authorization (WDA) and a Responsible Person (RP) named on the license. In the UK a WDA can also be utilized to import QP-certified medicinal products from the EU. In that case, you would need a Responsible Person (import). The RP is tasked with supervising the quality of the company's wholesale operation and takes on the primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with GDP regulations and maintaining the quality of the distributed products.

Our highly experienced RPs can act as contractors named on your, or a third-party's, WDA for both human and veterinary medicines under EU and UK Guidelines. If you are new to the EU/UK market we can help you in navigating the road from QMS  build, through the WDA application process, a successful inspection, and obtaining your very own WDA license.
