PrimeVigilance offers experienced EU QPPVs and Deputy EU QPPVs with extensive knowledge and experience of the industry.

EU QPPV is responsible for the fulfillment of key PV functions:

2. Having an overview of medicinal product safety profiles and any emerging safety concerns
3. Acting as a single PV contact point for the EMA and EU Competent Authorities on a 24-hour basis, and the contact point for inspections
4. Ensuring and verifying that the information contained in the Pharmacovigilance System Master File (PSMF) is an accurate and up-to-date reflection of that PV system

EU QPPV must reside and operate in the EU, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein. EU QPPV shall be appropriately qualified, shall be at the MAH´s disposal permanently and continuously, and must be experienced in all aspects of PV.
