A critical part of the PV eco-system.

Local Qualified Persons for Pharmacovigilance (LQPPVs) are pivotal in maintaining a compliant, effective, and safe, country-specific pharmacovigilance system.


A safety role with many local variations.

The position of Local Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (LQPPV) is mandated by regulatory authorities to oversee the pharmacovigilance systems within a specific country or region and is based on regulatory frameworks like the European Union’s Directive 2001/83/EC and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004, as well as guidelines from the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH), particularly ICH E2E.

The LQPPV role is therefore critical for protecting public health, ensuring that medicinal products are safe and effective throughout their lifecycle by closely monitoring and managing the risks associated with them.

The title "Local Qualified Person Responsible for Pharmacovigilance" is commonly used in the European Union, but variations or equivalent roles exist in other legislations with similar responsibilities, such as:

  • Local Safety Officer (LSO).
  • Drug Safety Officer.
  • Pharmacovigilance Officer.
  • Local Contact Person Responsible for Pharmacovigilance (LCPPV).
  • National Contact Point (NCPPV/NCPV).
