Sharing Current Best Practices and Strategic Approaches within Pharmacovigilance Regulated Activities

The Nordic Pharmacovigilance Day has become a very popular forum for a broad range of professionals engaged in strengthening the safety of medicinal products and medical devices.

The 8th edition will build on the experiences from previous successful conferences presenting a program covering the current most important topics and challenges encountered within the pharmacovigilance area. Knowledgeable experts will provide excellent updates in key areas, covering recent advances in technology, science and legislation, as well as practical aspects. Sessions will be interactive and participants will be able to ask questions, engage in a dialogue and also share their own experiences.

Among others, we will cover the following topics:

  • Inspections
    • Industry and regulatory perspectives, including IT perspective
    • Current trends including special features during the pandemic
  • Medical device and combination product – the PSUR document
  • Pharmacovigilance requirements post-Brexit (e.g. PSMF)
  • Artificial Intelligence
    • AI & Machine Learning
    • AI applied in signal detection and safety data analysis
  • Outsourcing of pharmacovigilance tasks
  • Pharmacovigilance operations in Headquarters vs. Affiliate

Who should attend?
The conference program is designed for healthcare professionals or pharmacists in safety surveillance units in the pharmaceutical industry or regulatory agencies, either as specialists or managers, QPPVs, inspectors and QA personnel including auditors, employees in regulatory affairs units with close relations to pharmacovigilance, sponsors, vendors and CROs, representatives from patient organizations.

Digital Landscape in PV – How to apply artificial intelligence effectively?
Martin Holm-Petersen - CEO at Insife

Automation, and recently not least in the form of artificial intelligence, is subject to investments for most Pharma companies and Regulatory Agencies today. It is, however, not trivial to implement advanced automation technology effectively across the PV process landscape, i.e. to be able to harvest the potential value. In this session, we will go through learnings from the recently completed, PV-focused “AI Data Analyzer” public-private initiative and talk about how to get the most value of machine-derived data in the actual processing of ICSRs, signal detection etc. without compromising compliance. Also, it will be argued why some of the automation gains also has potential even if you are only processing smaller case volumes.

Pharmacovigilance requirements post-Brexit
Kiernan Trevett - Expert GpVp Inspector at MHRA

The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 and the transition period ended on 31 December 2020. Initially the UK remains very highly aligned with the EU regulatory framework, free to take independent decisions in relation to Great Britain whilst remaining aligned with EU decisions in respect of Northern Ireland. This session will provide the insight of a UK regulatory authority inspector into the operation of pharmacovigilance now that the UK has left the EU and the approaches that industry has taken in implementing the updated requirements

Outsourcing of Pharmacovigilance Activities
Ea Marie Holst - Partner and Director of Pharmacovigilance at Pharma IT

 

This presentation will cover the regulatory landscape and practical considerations related to outsourcing of pharmacovigilance activities. From several years of experience working within the pharmacovigilance area in either contracting organizations or vendors/customers, Ea will highlight the present opportunities when outsourcing pharmacovigilance activities, as well as the potential pitfalls your company should be aware of. Outsourcing of pharmacovigilance activities can be a great opportunity for companies looking to fill competency gaps amongst their own staff. Through outsourcing, companies can hire the best experts for specific tasks without the hassle and expense of hiring and onboarding senior staff members. Companies should be cautious in selecting the right partner since the ultimate responsibility for pharmacovigilance lies on them. This includes due diligence to ensure you have proper procedures and contracts that cover all aspects of the partnership, as well as understanding how you can maintain a state of control when outsourcing to protect your company and its data.
