Virtual Inspections

Due to COVID-19, understandably most inspections are now done remotely, but that also goes hand in hand with a different preparation needed.

How to ensure that your pharmacovigilance system meets European regulatory requirements?

Thorough review EU GVP Modules and confront them with company procedures.

What do you see as the number one necessity in developing and maintaining a PSMF for your products?

Build strong relations and have appropriate training for all PSMF contributors.

Has the current situation affected the process of EU regulatory inspections?

Most inspections are now conducted remotely. Organisation and preparation is different for virtual inspections and self-inspections/mock inspections can be useful to be prepared to this new set-up.
