Dublin, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Variations to Marketing Authorisations (June 2nd - June 3rd, 2026)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This course will be particularly relevant for those working in registration and regulatory affairs. It will also be of interest to anyone with an involvement in the variations process including QA, clinical safety and pharmacovigilance personnel.
It is a key post-marketing responsibility of the marketing authorisation holder (MAH) to keep dossiers up to date, and changes must be submitted as variations to the appropriate regulatory authority.
This interactive event will provide an invaluable overview of the EU system for variations, with practical advice on the preparation and submission of variation applications using the various European procedures. The course will cover the latest variation regulations and offer guidance from an industry expert on how to optimise your regulatory procedures to help achieve faster approval. The programme will include filing tips and strategies with information and advice on creating a global dossier and implementation periods.
Practical sessions throughout the two days will provide an opportunity to discuss different scenarios and strategies with other participants.
