Pharmaceutical Affairs
Nothing is more important to us than the safety and efficacy of our medicines and medical devices. The Pharmaceutical Affairs department closely monitors every single aspect of our work, from our first interaction with potential suppliers to product storage.
The Pharmaceutical Affairs department consists of three teams: Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance and Pharmacovigilance. The first two are departments in their own right.
Regulatory Affairs focuses on obtaining permission from the regulator to market a medicine, known as ‘marketing authorisation’. Quality Assurance makes sure our products are fully compliant with legal frameworks. The Pharmacovigilance team monitors signals from patients concerning side effects and reports these to the European Medicines Agency.
