Drug Safety & Pharmacovigilance
TFS HealthScience pharmacovigilance experts set up, manage,
and optimize the product safety needs of our customers throughout
the entire clinical development and post-marketing journey.
Flexibility and tailored services where you need them
Pharmacovigilance (PV) activities are fundamental to both patient safety and regulatory compliance. When outsourcing some or all of your program’s PV activities, efficient, high-quality processes are necessary to ensure the collection, management, and analysis of all safety data. It’s equally essential to integrate these services into your technical systems so that you have complete oversight of your safety data.
