Workshop on measuring the impact of pharmacovigilance activities

In January 2016 the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) adopted a strategy for measuring the impact of pharmacovigilance activities performed at European Union (EU) and Member States level which relies on a collaborative approach of all stakeholders. Measuring the impact of key pharmacovigilance activities will allow regulators and stakeholders to determine which activities are most successful and to identify enablers and barriers for generating positive health impacts which will contribute to the further development of proactive pharmacovigilance systems and to promote best practice across the EU. The aim of this workshop is to facilitate the implementation of the PRAC strategy with a particular focus on the development of methodologies and the fostering of collaboration.
