The Many Facets of Pharmacovigilance
More than Just Paper Shuffling and Regulations
Dr. Yvonne Nanciu, Country Head Pharmacovigilance Germany at Bayer Pharmaceuticals, joined the Safety Signals Podcast to explain how pharmacovigilance can be a rich and rewarding field. The lively discussion covered a far-reaching variety of topics, including:
- The importance of having practitioners with diverse backgrounds
- The need for predictive analytics
- Ways to improve patient centricity
Dr. Nanciu, who also lectures on pharmacovigilance at universities throughout Germany, tells her students that “pharmacovigilance is like medicine on paper. So you have your patients, you have their adverse event reports, you have their entire history, diagnostic, lab values, disease, evolution, and you can see their evolution through a disease.”
