Compliance in the pharmaceutical industry encompasses strict adherence to legal frameworks, regulatory guidelines, standards, and internal policies governing operations, products, and services. It entails meeting legal obligations, industry benchmarks, and contractual commitments to uphold ethical practices, quality assurance, and effective risk management. This concept extends to complying with specific regulatory bodies, such as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK, underlining the importance of following Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations to guarantee the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. Through the implementation of robust controls, processes, and monitoring systems, compliance efforts aim to mitigate risks, avert violations, and safeguard the organisation’s integrity and reputation.
