Patient safety is a mission, the only way to achieve it is by continuous vigilance.
Global Product Safety and Pharmacovigilance
The World Health Organization defines pharmacovigilance (PV) as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem.
Our Global Product Safety and Pharmacovigilance team is comprised of medical and scientific professionals with extensive safety and/or clinical experience in different therapeutic areas who are trained in medicinal safety, pharmacovigilance and worldwide heath authority regulations relevant to medicinal product safety. Some of our key responsibilities include:
- Identify, collect, review, process & medically evaluate Adverse Events (AEs), Product Complaints (PCs) & Special Reporting Situation (SRS)
- Continually evaluate the benefits and risks of our UT products across the product life cycle
- Identify potential risks so that we can determine and implement measures to maximize the safe use of our products
Our Global Product Safety and Pharmacovigilance signal and safety risk management processes, combined with our robust safety governance framework, allows UT to determine if new safety information on our products (a "signal") poses a risk to patients and how to best manage, mitigate and communicate the risk.
