Vigilance

Our pharmacovigilance training courses have been designed for drug safety professionals and will offer practical advice on key topics and the latest regulatory developments in this increasingly important field.

Pharmacovigilance has undergone a rapid regulatory change in recent years and become one of the most demanding aspects of the pharmaceutical industry to both understand and comply with.

We also provide training in vigilance and adverse event management for medical devices and pharmacovigilance for veterinary medicinal products and cosmetics.
