Training Overview

Pharmacovigilance Under COVID-19 course will provide an overview of the COVID constraints placed great strains upon the Pharmacovigilance reporting requirements as staff were working remotely or sick with the COVID illness.

Recognising such constraints the Regulatory Agencies have provided temporary contingencies for reporting pharmacovigilance reports and documentation. These guidances ‘relax’ some of the reporting requirements for pharmacovigilance but do not explain how and what should be done for recording these extraordinary events as Companies record compliance activities for this period of time as well as deviate from present processes.

The 90-minute talk covers these aspects and what items can and cannot be relaxed.

Hear by top Pharmaceutical speaker Graeme Ladds who has been involved in training courses and presenting on a variety of pharmacovigilance topics of all complexities for nearly the last 20 years globally. In that time he has trained face-to-face over 5000 safety professionals and over 1000 people via video remotely.   


Why Should You Attend

For Pharmacovigilance and QA personnel, this course aims to demonstrate what the new guidances allow in terms of pharmacovigilance activities that can be relaxed during COVID and how to achieve these exemptions while achieving compliance and noting any deviations to existing processes and training.
