• Trend Analysis: Identify non-compliance trends and systematic risks within the PV discipline, communicating these findings to line management and functional leads to support PV system health and protect the integrity of the PSMF documenting it.

• Continuous Improvement: Support initiatives to improve standard operating procedures (SOPs) for audit conduct and partner with stakeholders to develop risk-based, compliant solutions that ensure compliance with EMA Guidelines on Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP Modules), and applicable global and local regulatory requirements..
