In July 2012, the new Pharmacovigilance legislation cameinto force and highlighted the importance of the pivotalrole that the EU qualified person in pharmacovigilance(QPPV) has in a company’s pharmacovigilance system toassure product safety. They are personally accountablefor promoting, establishing, maintaining and improvingcompliance of a pharmacovigilance system for all EUauthorised products throughout the product’s life span onthe market.

They must have oversight and influence over all operational activities concerning authorised products.How in practice can that occur? What does oversightmean? Do you know what an adequately qualified QPPVlooks like? How does your Company ensure that yourQPPV is fulfilling the requirements laid down in Europeanlegislation? Is your QPPV adequately resourced withbackup which is equally competent?

These are all fundamental questions for the managementof a MAH wanting to place medicines in any EU marketand to keep them there.

So where can you go for expert advice?
