ISoP Mid Year Training Course 2017

25-26 May | Bangkok, Thailand

Developing risk management capability: Maximising opportunities from global Pharmacovigilance experience.

This two day-course leveraged the Pharmacovigilance expertise of ISoP and had been designed to help interdisciplinary groups to learn and work together in contributing to patient safety when medicines are used.

At the end of the course, the participants were expected to understand current local and international legislative frameworks, and how they are expected to develop over the coming years. Participants gained an understanding of considerations when developing strategies to increase volumes of ADRs, and how they might be handled through different signal management systems.

The second part of the course focussed on risk management and minimization approaches. Participants gained hand on experience of development of Risk Management Plans (RMPs) and the conduct of Benefit-Risk assessments.

Day one took the form of lectures with opportunity for discussion through questions and answers and panel discussion, while day two  focussed on hands-on interactive tasks.

This course was aimed to engage all interested pharmacovigilance professionals in a regulatory, industry, hospital, university or community setting.

The course faculty consisted of Asian and International experts in pharmacovigilance, representing government, academia, and industry.
