This compact online seminar provides a comprehensive overview of modern risk minimisation in the context of patient safety and pharmacovigilance. You will gain a solid understanding of the practical application of the current regulatory framework, defined in:

  • GVP Module XVI - Risk minimisation measures (Rev 3) (06/08/2024),
  • GVP Module XVI Addendum I - Risk minimisation measures for medicinal products with embryo-fetal risks (29/08/2025), and
  • GVP Module XVI Addendum II - Methods for evaluating effectiveness of risk minimisation measures (06/08/2024).

The course offers a refresher on RMM and a detailed deep dive into aRMM, with a particular focus on the updates released in 2024 and 2025. Key elements include effectiveness evaluation, user testing and pregnancy-prevention programmes. The seminar combines clear regulatory guidance with practical insights, enabling attendees to strengthen their skills in planning, managing and monitoring aRMM within their organisations.
