Abstract:
Errors accompanying the use of medicinal products pose
a considerable economic as well as clinical burden. Fortu-

They could be minimized or avoided through better design
of medication safety systems with a focus on the ordering,

The main purpose of the International Society of Phar-
macovigilance (ISoP) is to promote the safer use of medi-
cines through contributing to better and more education in
pharmacovigilance (PV) and training activities worldwide.
Therefore, ISoP members are regularly invited and encour-

individual experts or as representatives of their organizations

essential that they receive adequate training that could con-

International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP) have
strived to develop continuing good-quality educational
programs internationally, including a mid-year training
program, pre-conference courses during the annual meet-
ings, and joint training courses with the World Health
