At Richmond Pharmacology, patient safety is at the heart of every clinical trial. Our dedicated Pharmacovigilance (PV) team ensures that all safety data are captured, assessed and reported in compliance with global regulatory standards.
Pharmacovigilance is the science of monitoring and preventing adverse effects. It safeguards trial participants, ensures regulators and sponsors can act on emerging data, and underpins confidence in new medicines.
