General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

With the amendments to the Medicinal Products Act in recent years, the monitoring of drug safety has been strongly formalized. The quality plan representative (QPPV) is responsible for ensuring that a pharmacovigilance system is set up and maintained in his company.

Ensuring the quality of medicines requires a comprehensive understanding of medicines legislation and administration, pharmaceutical quality systems (PQS) and good manufacturing practice (GMP). Pharmaceutical manufacturing supply chains are global and an increasingly complex landscape in which the competent person must be able to skillfully navigate to ensure patient safety.

QPPVs use their analytical skills to investigate issues in the manufacture and analysis of medicines. Most QPPVss are employed in the pharmaceutical industry, but some are employed or contracted to licensed NHS manufacturing sites (or equivalent)
