Training overview

What is a Pharmacovigilance Quality System and why is it important?

According to current regulations, it is the responsibility of AIC Holders or Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs) to put in place and maintain a Pharmacovigilance System and its quality system: a Pharmacovigilance Quality System that is adequate to detect any changes in the benefit/risk profile of authorized medicinal products.

The construction of an effective and efficient Quality System requires, first and foremost, the presence of adequate, competent resources properly trained, adequate tools and infrastructure, and also the implementation of organizational and procedural aspects, as well as periodic monitoring of their effectiveness, with identification and evaluation of Key Performance Indicators. Finally, the necessary actions must be taken to achieve the improvements and reach the expected standards. In fact, it turns out to be essential the systematic activity of “Auditing,” to be implemented in line with international standards and recalled in the same GVP, Good Pharmacovigilance Practice.

Pharma Education Center’s “The Pharmacovigilance Quality System” training course aims to examine all these key aspects, answering participants’ doubts.
