A structured self-inspection programme isn’t just good practice — it’s an expected component of Good Distribution Practice (GDP).
Wholesale distributors are required to demonstrate ongoing internal oversight, documented audit findings, and effective Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) management. During inspection, regulators such as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency will expect to see evidence of this.
This GDP Self-Inspection Checklist Template provides a practical, inspection-ready framework to help you conduct and document internal audits with confidence.
What You Receive
An editable Word template that includes:
- Full GDP self-inspection structure aligned to core compliance areas
- Deficiency grading (Minor / Major / Critical)
- Document control fields for traceability
- Dedicated CAPA log section
- Clear audit trail layout suitable for inspection presentation
It is designed to be used as part of your Quality Management System and adapted to your licensed activities.
Why This Matters
Many inspection findings stem not from major failures, but from:
- Incomplete internal audits
- Weak documentation
- Poorly tracked corrective actions
- Gaps in supplier or temperature oversight
A clear, structured self-inspection process demonstrates:
- Active governance
- Risk-based thinking
- Management engagement
- Continuous improvement
Being able to present documented internal audits with tracked actions can materially strengthen your inspection outcome.
Who It’s Designed For
- WDA(H) licence holders
- Responsible Persons (RP) and Deputy RPs
- QA & compliance managers
- Start-up wholesale distributors
- Organisations preparing for inspection or due diligence
This template is practical, structured, and ready to implement immediately within your compliance framework.
