PSMF & Pharmacovigilance Documentation Governance

PSMF & Pharmacovigilance Documentation Governance

Secure the Compliance of Your Pharmacovigilance Documentation System

The Pharmacovigilance System Master File (PSMF) is a central component of the pharmacovigilance system for Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs) and operators across Europe.

As the core documentation framework of the PV system, the PSMF demonstrates to health authorities:

– the organization of the pharmacovigilance system

– safety governance structures

– responsibilities of involved stakeholders

– oversight of outsourced activities

– compliance with Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP)

The PSMF also represents a critical document during EMA and ANSM inspections.

Atessia Vigilances supports pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and MAHs in the creation, maintenance, and optimization of pharmacovigilance documentation governance across France and Europe.

Our objective: to build robust, consistent, and inspection-ready pharmacovigilance documentation systems that sustainably secure your regulatory obligations.
