ABOUT · WHAT WE DO

Raising the standard of practice across pharma and biotech

Patients depend on medicines that are safe, effective and always available. Everything we do starts there. We help pharmaceutical companies and the people in them build quality in from the first idea to commercial supply, so products reach patients safely and without avoidable delay.

Led personally by Tushar Patel from Cambridge, UK, with a small dedicated team in India and a growing network of trusted associates internationally — so you get senior UK judgement on every piece of work, and the capacity to deliver it.

Consultancy, training and a digital QMS, across all GxP disciplines, on one platform.

HOW WE WORK

Every consultancy claims quality. We show you ours.

Four things an MHRA inspector looks for — shown in our guided demo before you sign anything. It runs on synthetic data, so nothing confidential is ever on screen.

A gap blocks the person from the task until they are trained and assessed.
Competence, not just attendance

Training is assigned by role and tracked by document version, so a gap shows before the task is done.

LABORATORY AND DEVELOPMENT

From the bench to the batch, one point of contact

GxP Pharma manages your testing and development programme end to end. The laboratory work is carried out at an MHRA-approved partner laboratory, under a quality agreement we hold and oversee — so you deal with one team, one quality system and one set of reports.

Analytical method development and validation
HPLC/UPLC, GC, UV-Vis, FTIR and titration methods developed for your product, then validated to ICH Q2 and transferred into routine QC.
Raw material and nitrosamine testing
APIs, excipients and packaging tested against BP, Ph. Eur. and USP monographs, including LC-MS and GC-MS screening for nitrosamines such as NDMA and NDEA.
Stability and dissolution
ICH stability programmes and dissolution testing that give you the data behind shelf life, storage conditions and your submission.
Microbiology
Microbial limits and method development and validation for non-sterile materials and finished products.
Batch release testing
Full release testing for imported and UK-manufactured product, with the QP certification route agreed and documented from the start.
Product development and clinical supply
Formulation development, technology transfer and clinical trial supply readiness, managed alongside your regulatory strategy.
The partner laboratory is named in your quality agreement and in any regulatory submission, as the law requires. GxP Pharma remains your contract partner and your single point of contact throughout.
Discuss a testing programme
INTERNATIONAL SITES

Your suppliers are in India and China. Our reach is too.

Most UK and EU products depend on API and finished-product sites overseas. GxP Pharma manages audits, engineering and technical work at those sites through an international partner network, reviewed against UK and EU expectations by our own team before anything reaches you.

Overseas supplier audits
GMP audits of API, excipient and finished-product sites in India and China by locally based auditors, with the report reviewed by GxP before it is issued to you.
Shared audit reports, assessed
Access to existing audit reports for many overseas sites. We assess each one against your needs and document the reliance decision, so your QP can use it with confidence.
Plant set-up and FAT
Greenfield and brownfield facility design support, and factory acceptance testing of equipment at the manufacturer before it ships.
US FDA inspection readiness
Pre-inspection assessments for sites preparing for a US FDA visit, alongside our UK and EU readiness work.
Every audit report names the auditor who conducted it, as GMP requires. GxP Pharma is your contract partner, reviews all partner work, and remains your single point of contact.
Plan an overseas audit
UK IMPORT AND SUPPLY

Import, release and distribution — MHRA licensing in progress

GxP Pharma and our sister company Oakdene Pharmaceuticals are completing MHRA licensing, so the whole route — from import and QP certification to UK wholesale supply — sits with one group.

We are inviting a small number of manufacturers to be the first products through it. Talk to us now and your products can be ready when the licences are.

WHAT'S NEXT

Services we are building

These services are in development and not yet available. Tell us if you want them and we will come back to you when they open.

PLANNED

Parallel imports

Bringing medicines that already hold a marketing authorisation into the UK from other markets and repackaging them to UK requirements. This depends on Oakdene Pharmaceuticals’ WDA(H) being granted and on a separate parallel import licence (PLPI) for each product.

PLANNED

Veterinary medicines

Regulatory and quality support for veterinary products. Veterinary medicines in the UK are regulated by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, not the MHRA, and need their own authorisations and their own quality system scope.

PLANNED

Medical devices

Acting as UK Responsible Person (UKRP) for overseas device manufacturers, with UKCA conformity support and post-market surveillance. The UKRP is the device role under the UK MDR and is not the same as a GDP Responsible Person.
