In the last year/recent months, there have been a lot of changes in the pharmacovigilance requirements especially impacting the reporting to EudraVigilance, the Signal Detection Management (e.g. inclusion of EudraVigilance Data Analysis System as part of the Signal Detection Management, etc.) and the Risk Management activities. The course is aimed at providing some practical examples of the application of the new requirements to PV Systems.

The recent new published modules of the Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP) and in particular the new GVP module VI "Collection, management and submission of reports of suspected adverse reactions to medicinal products", the new GVP module V "Risk Management Systems" and GVP module IX "Signal Management" require for update to Safety Databases/electronic interchange systems, processes/working instructions, contracts with Third Parties affected from such legislative changes, etc. The review and update of Pharmacovigilance Systems as a result of the new requirements must take into account the type of medicinal products covered by the systems. Any update required to meet new local requirements from a specific territory will have to be performed in a way that does not generate conflicts with the functionalities of the system in place to meet the requirements of other territories. 

The course will also provide some practical aspects to detect and communicate the presence of duplicates to the EMA.
