Brexit, if it happens/has happened, will make an impact on how the EU authorization and pharmacovigilance system operates in the region. The move to Amsterdam has already had a significant effect on EMA resources including loss of both people and expertise. At the same time, all regulators are reacting to the ongoing challenges which are happening outside of this. This session will provide an update on recent events in the European region and how this is affecting the EU regulatory system from different viewpoints of an EMA regulator, UK regulator, and the European Pharmaceutical Industry.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Know the changes occurring in the broader European region
- Comprehend the implications
- Understand the effects and challenges of these on different stakeholders
