About

The 2024 MHRA Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GPvP) symposium will provide a deep dive into GPvP inspection non-compliance, metrics and trends, regulatory updates, and an opportunity to hear about the MHRA’s perspective on hot topics in pharmacovigilance.

GPvP inspectors will be available to respond to questions from attendees in panel sessions and during inspectors’ surgeries.

Participants of the GPvP Symposium will develop a deeper understanding of:

• GPvP requirements and good practice in the UK
• Latest trends in pharmacovigilance non-compliance identified during MHRA inspections
• UK regulatory updates and changes
• Regulator perspectives on hot topics in pharmacovigilance.

The symposium will be delivered in a hybrid format. Content will be made available to all registered delegates as recordings after the symposium for up to one month, allowing access at the most convenient time for you. This may be of particular interest where time zones make it difficult to watch the event in real time.
