Vicki Pike to Join EPiC Auditors in November

Vicki Pike Will Join The EPiC Management Team as Operations Manager & Senior Consultant

EPiC Auditors is delighted to announce that Vicki Pike will be joining us on the 11th November to take up the role of EPiC Auditors Operations Manager and Senior Consultant. 

EPiC Auditors is celebrating its 10 year anniversary this year having been established in 2014 by Liz Allanson and Darren Jones (both ex MHRA) to fulfil the increasing need for former MHRA Inspectors to conduct mock regulatory inspections and to provide consultancy advice from the Regulatory perspective. Since then, the company has developed significantly, and Vicki has been appointed to further strengthen the EPiC management team and our team of consultants.

Vicki joins us with over 25 years experience of working in the pharmaceutical industry, including 7 years working as a GMDP Inspector for the MHRA where she was accredited to perform a wide range of inspections of different dosage forms and processes including: steriles, non-steriles, specials (unlicensed medicines), medical gases, IMPs, herbals, importation and wholesale dealing.

Prior to joining the MHRA, Vicki worked for AstraZeneca at their UK manufacturing site, predominately in Quality roles, and became eligible as a QP in 2006. After leaving MHRA Vicki joined GlaxoSmithKline, where she worked as a corporate auditor for 8 years, and latterly led a remediation project at a European manufacturing site.

Vicki is a Pharmacist by training and puts patient impact at the forefront of her decision making. Vicki is passionate about sharing her knowledge, especially when coaching and training others.

We are really excited about Vicki joining the team and acknowledge the range of skills and experience she brings which will help us to develop further and extends our capabilities to meet the needs of all our clients.

Making Pharmaceuticals Conference 2024

The EPiC Team

Pharma Discovery to Distribution

The EPiC team were pleased to be able to attend the UK’s Making Pharmaceuticals Conference 2024 in Coventry from 23rd to 24th April 2024.

The two-day conference covered topics spanning the entire product lifecycle, from discovery to distribution, and it was a fantastic opportunity to explain and promote our services to the conference attendees as well as meet with many of our current and past clients

EPiC delivered two presentations at the event. Darren Jones presented ‘Annex 1—Current & Future Deficiencies’, which identified areas where the pharmaceutical Industry routinely failed to comply with the previous Annex 1 and looked ahead to predict the potential compliance ‘pitfalls’ within the revised guidance and how to avoid these. 

Lewis Corbett presented on ‘Inspection Readiness’, which covered what being inspection-ready means in practice based on insights from former MHRA Inspectors. It highlighted expectations for PQS documentation, completion of operational activities, and examples of how to leverage output from the PQS to confirm GMDP compliance and prepare for a regulatory inspection.

The conference brought together industry leaders, professionals, and experts to share knowledge, insights, and innovations in the pharmaceutical field. Attending this event was an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, learn about developments in the industry, and contribute to ongoing advancements in healthcare.

We’ve already signed up to attend again next year, so be sure to save the date and join us on 29th and 30th April 2025!
