An Essential Overview of Pharmacovigilance Training Course
A practical guide to understanding the role of pharmacovigilance.
Details
Course overview
Pharmacovigilance has undergone rapid regulatory change in recent years and become one of the most demanding aspects of the pharmaceutical industry to both understand and comply with. There are many requirements and duties for companies to perform regarding the safety of their products to satisfy regulatory demands, and sanctions for non-compliance can be severe.
EU pharmacovigilance legislation requires companies to train all staff, including those not working directly in pharmacovigilance, and this invaluable one-day course will help you meet that requirement with a concise overview of the pharmacovigilance function and current regulatory requirements.
Benefits of attending:
- Gain an overview of EU pharmacovigilance
- Understand the documentation required by regulatory authorities
- Clarify the roles and responsibilities of a licence holder
- Understand the role of the Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV)
- Review the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in relation to pharmacovigilance
Who should attend?
This course will be relevant for anyone requiring an overview of pharmacovigilance or wishing to consolidate existing knowledge. It will also benefit those working in pharmacovigilance, as well as those who support or interact with pharmacovigilance from areas including medical information, regulatory affairs, clinical, sales and marketing, legal, commercial and quality.
