About Us

UK GDP Association

The UK GDP Association C.I.C (Community Interest Company) was created specifically to focus on small and medium business enterprise and pharmacy wholesalers that deal with the distribution of medicinal products. Our aim is to help and support these businesses, their Responsible Persons, senior management and quality teams with the ever-changing regulatory landscape surrounding Good Distribution Practice.

We provide a platform for GDP professionals to share knowledge, access expert guidance, and stay informed about the latest MHRA regulations and industry best practices. Through our conferences, training events and online resources, we are building a community that raises standards across the UK pharmaceutical supply chain.
