Event summary
Veterinary students can join an information session hosted by EMA and the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) on pharmacovigilance and its role in protecting animal health, public health and the environment.
Why pharmacovigilance matters
Veterinarians play a key role in monitoring the safety of veterinary medicines. As the trusted healthcare professionals closest to the animals and their owners and keepers, they are often the first to identify and report suspected adverse events associated with veterinary medicines.
These reports provide real-world evidence on how medicines perform in everyday use. They help identify new or emerging risks and support the safe and effective use of veterinary medicines.
What participants will learn
The session provides practical knowledge on:
- pharmacovigilance and veterinary medicines;
- the role of veterinarians in reporting suspected adverse events;
- how safety reports contribute to the ongoing monitoring of authorised medicines;
- the importance of post-authorisation safety monitoring.
Who should attend
The session is designed for veterinary students who want to understand their future role in maintaining the safety of veterinary medicines.
