QUALIFIED PERSON (QP) ESSENTIALS to Reduce Risk and Delays in EU and UK Trials

Delivering clinical supplies into the European Union and United Kingdom requires rigorous oversight from a QP to ensure every batch meets regulatory, GMP, and trial-specific requirements. Yet, many sponsors face preventable delays, often due to incomplete documentation, limited supply chain visibility, or late communication of changes. This paper breaks down the core responsibilities of the QP, explains how European Union and United Kingdom expectations differ, and share practical steps sponsors can take to streamline the certification process. Readers will learn how to prepare audit-ready documentation, avoid common pitfalls that extend release timelines, and build efficient collaborations with QPs to keep studies moving without interruption.
