PVpharm provides EU Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (EU QPPV) and Deputy EU QPPV with large knowledge and experience of the industry. Besides, PVpharm has contact persons for pharmacovigilance in several EU countries
Any medicinal product cannot be authorized in the EU without a Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (EU QPPV). The EU QPPV is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the MAH’s PV system, therefore must have adequate oversight and authority to affect the performance of the quality system and the PV activities, and to maintain and improve compliance with the legal requirements.
The EU QPPV has the following responsibilities regarding the medicinal products covered by the PV system:
- Overview of medicinal product safety profiles and any visible safety concerns
- Awareness of any conditions or obligations adopted as part of the MA and other loyalties
- Awareness of risk minimisation measures
In the other hand, an EU QPPV must:
- Act as a single point of contact for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and EU Competent Authorities on a 24-hour basis, and the contact point of inspection
- Ensure and verify that the pharmacovigilance system master file (PSMF) is constantly in place
The EU QPPV must have an adequate theoretical and practical knowledge for the performance of PV activities, reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) and be constantly at the disposal of the marketing authorization holder (MAH).
