PHARMACEUTICAL
TRANSPORT COMPLIANCE
J&JL Ltd are specialist pharmaceutical transport compliance consultants — delivering GDP (Good Distribution Practice) systems, temperature control procedures and full MHRA audit preparation for UK medicines logistics operators.
GDP Compliance — Your Licence to Carry Medicines
The transport of human medicinal products in the UK is regulated under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 and guided by the MHRA's Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines — which closely mirror the EU GDP Directive 2013/C 68/01. Any carrier involved in the distribution of licensed medicines, whether ambient, refrigerated or frozen, must operate GDP-compliant systems. This includes temperature monitoring, qualified person oversight, chain-of-custody documentation and robust deviation management.
J&JL Ltd have deep expertise in pharmaceutical logistics compliance. We work with carriers ranging from dedicated pharmaceutical distribution companies to general hauliers adding a pharma capability, building GDP-compliant management systems that satisfy pharmaceutical manufacturer and wholesaler expectations — and stand up to MHRA inspection. Our approach is practical, thorough and tailored to the specific medicines you carry.
