Companies that operate within the Pharmaceutical and Pharmacovigilance field and experts involved in the storage of drugs and/or other medicinal products are legally required to be fully aware of the requirements that accompany relevant practices. All professionals engaged in clinical studies of an investigational drug and its efficient preservation are expected to carry out the necessary set of actions and tasks in accordance with Good Storage Practice (GSP) formal guideline. Because of the seriousness of the matter and the importance of well-performed procedures that have to be compliant with regulations and other applicable ethical principles, it is significant for members of staff to complete additional GSP training. But before we go on and outline why such courses matter, let’s first briefly clarify the role GSP has in research.
What makes the GSP training topic more and more relevant for the Clinical Research industry?
Good Storage Practice is valid in all occasions related to storing and distributing pharmaceuticals. There are, of course, many different specifics that need to be taken into account in order to guarantee full regulatory compliance. This includes sufficient knowledge about SOPs, dealing with electronic and paper records, preparing storage areas which allow orderly preservation of different categories of medicinal products, maintaining and monitoring of appropriate storage conditions, working with computerized systems, controlling incoming materials and many more. What’s interesting but not so unusual or unexpected is that in recent years, the significance of GSP is considered to have grown exponentially. Especially when it is more closely linked to the overall clinical research sector. Thus, along with Good Distribution Practice, GSP is part of the management chain of pharmaceuticals. And that management chain, precisely, is key for it makes sure that potency, quality, usability, efficiency and the physical integrity of medicaments are preserved and well kept.
