Pharmacovigilance System Master File: How to Prepare and Maintain

Review the essential concepts and guidances that govern the Pharmacovigilance System Master File (PSMF) in the European Union.

Overview

The Pharmacovigilance System Master File (PSMF) is the key document describing the company’s pharmacovigilance system. The PSMF is supporting and documenting the company compliance with the requirements laid down in the EU legislation and is the first document requested by a Competent Authority in preparation of a pharmacovigilance inspection.

The entire course is in line with the guidelines on EU Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP): Module II – Pharmacovigilance System Master File (rev. 2), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 520/2012, and relevant EMA guidelines.

This course will take approximately 5.5 hours to complete.
