Why Is Pharmacovigilance Training Important?

Effective pharmacovigilance (PV) relies not only on systems and procedures, but also on people who fully understand their roles and responsibilities.

According to EU GVP Module I, Marketing Authorisation Holders (MAHs) must ensure that all personnel involved in pharmacovigilance activities are trained appropriately for their tasks – including internal staff, external partners, and national representatives, both within and outside the EU.

Training gaps are a frequent cause of deviations, audit and inspection findings. Targeted PV training is therefore essential to ensure operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and inspection readiness.

In many markets – especially those with limited local PV infrastructure – teams face challenges when cooperating with EU-based MAHs and aligning with global standards. My customised pharmacovigilance training programmes are designed to close that gap and build local and global compliance capability.

At the same time, EU-based companies benefit from structured PV training - whether onboarding new employees, preparing for inspections, or aligning external stakeholders. I offer tailored training solutions for both EU and non-EU settings.
