Background & Vision

Institute of Pharmacovigilance

Our Why was not to build "just another" educational organisation in PV. In 2015, we responded to high demand for "hands on" education where excellent instructors talk about topics they do every day, thus having and sharing the latest and practical insight. Institute of Pharmacovigilance was established as non-profit organisation in 2015, to support pharmacovigilance and public health by training, research, publishing activities and conference organisation.

News

Launch of the GPPC Pilot Program!

We are thrilled to share that the Global Pharmacovigilance Professional Certification program has been officially approved by the ISoP Executive Committee and the General Assembly during last week’s meeting in Montreal. On 11 October 2024, we launched the pilot phase to test all aspects before the full certification process for the first roles begins.

GPPC Implementation progress

We have been working tirelessly on the certification for quite some time and would like to present you how far we got. While the implementation has been slower than expected, we focus on the quality of the certification and collaborate with several pharmacovigilance expert groups both on local and global scale.

PVReg development update

The Institute of Pharmacovigilance does not only certify individuals based on their knowledge, skills, and attitudes in pharmacovigilance, but also based on their knowledge of local applicable regulation. For this purpose, we are developing an extensive platform called PVReg and we would like to present you the latest news.
