Training overview

The pharmacovigilance system has evolved over time, starting from the benefit/risk assessment of a drug performed on the analysis of individual cases arriving at the development of periodic safety reports and finally finding its full expression in Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVPs). The application of the principles of GVPs, with the management of risk and quality plans, has made pharmacovigilance a major function in the Pharmaceutical Company today. With a view to continuous improvement of the appropriateness of use of a given pharmaceutical treatment towards the patient, the Pharmacovigilance specialist must play this delicate role to the best of his or her ability and must develop an all-round technical and practical expertise on GVPs. Moreover, the digital transformation typical of the modern era is radically changing both the business approach of pharmacovigilance practitioners and the characteristics of the pharmacovigilance professional figure that will be sought after in the near future.
