What is GMP?

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is a system designed to ensure that products like food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals are consistently manufactured to meet quality standards. At Pet Blood Bank, we adhere to GMP to safeguard the welfare and safety of both our donors and recipients. This ensures that the blood we collect and the products we provide are safe. As part of our NFABBA license for pet blood banking, GMP is a core practice implemented throughout Pet Blood Bank. 

 

Why is GMP important?

Completion of this course is a statutory requirement to work within Pet Blood Bank UK in all and every role regardless if it is an administrative or clinical role.

Statutory requirement “A requirement written into a law passed by a legislative body”

There are ten golden rules of GMP 

1. Having appropriate facilities 
2. Having validated processes 
3. Writing and following good Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) 
4. Identifying who does what 
5. Keeping good records 
6. Training and developing staff 
7. Practicing good hygiene 
8. Maintaining facilities and equipment 
9. Building quality into everything we do 
10. Performing regular audits 

These Ten Rules have been combined to make the following topics 

• Cleanliness and Tidiness 
• Errors and mistakes 
• Good Documentation Practice 
• Confidentiality

By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that the blood—and the blood products we collect—are consistently collected and processed in a controlled manner to save lives. Quality is everyone’s responsibility within our organization. While individuals may have different roles in maintaining the quality structure and framework, every team member is accountable for complying with GMP.
