Since before the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, we have been working hard to provide the guidance you need to become familiar with the pharmacovigilance requirements for UK marketing authorisation holders (MAH) which are set out in a revised legal framework. In this blog post, we’ve pulled together all the sources of guidance that we’ve published so far, as well as information on where to go if you still have questions.
