Pharmaceutical CPD Courses

This course is only open to those on the current register of QC(MGPS) requiring a refresher training / assessment.

This two-day refresher and reassessment programme is specifically designed for you if you’re required to take the formal assessment of competency required under HTM02 every five years. The aim is to give an opportunity for QC (MGPS) personnel to be aware of developments and best practice and to enhance personal skills.

Please note, the reassessment process is of the delegate’s general knowledge of Medical Gas Testing, not necessarily of the knowledge gained during this two-day course. This is to assure ongoing competence of those retained on the QC(MGPS) register under HTM 02-01.

As part of the formal assessment of competency, you will be sent a pre-course task/scenario to complete to see how you would test etc. This will be sent out four weeks before the course and you should bring it with you to the course as part of the mandatory assessment.

Please note, it is very important you to plan your return travel to enable you to attend the whole course.

If you are unable to pay online then please email [email protected] to request a manual registration form.
