EU local pharmacovigilance representatives

In certain member states within the EU, there is a requirement for the nomination of a pharmacovigilance person at national level. The role of these local representatives (often referred to as local QPPVs or National Persons Responsible for Pharmacovigilance (NPRPs)), is to provide a local contact person for the National Competent Authority (NCA) in the member state who usually must be fluent in the language and may be required to be resident of that country. The local representative may also be required to oversee the local PV system for collection and reporting of safety information to the concerned NCA, monitor local (non-indexed) literature for relevant safety information and act as the contact person of regulatory inspections by the NCA.
