2. Updated guidelines for the collection of adverse event reports - the role of the company representative

These guidelines cover the role of the company representative in the ‘adverse event’ collection process. This process helps to protect patient safety by ensuring each company has a full set of medicine safety data that it can use to perform safety checks. 

The ‘ABPI guidelines on the role of the company representative role in the collection of adverse event’ reports were drafted in 2007 and have now been updated by the ABPI PEN to keep them current.
