Abstract

Trained personnel play a vital role in ensuring medicinal safety in the animal health business. To achieve this, companies must focus on two primary goals: safety and efficacy of their products. Personnel involved in veterinary pharmacovigilance activities should receive initial and ongoing training to fulfill their roles and responsibilities effectively. Collaboration between quality assurance and pharmacovigilance staff is crucial in defining training needs, developing a training plan, and monitoring its efficacy. Different staff members require varied levels of pharmacovigilance training, with non-Pharmacovigilance staff focusing on basic concepts and recognizing adverse events, while pharmacovigilance staff should receive in-depth training on applicable regulations and guidelines.
