Join us for a live webinar with Lianne Parkin, Director of the New Zealand Pharmacovigilance Centre, as we explore how pharmacists can identify and report adverse drug reactions in everyday practice.

Pharmacovigilance plays a critical role in patient safety, helping detect medicine-related harms that may only emerge once products are widely used. This session will provide practical guidance on what to report, when to report, and how your contributions help strengthen medicine safety across Aotearoa New Zealand.

This webinar is for PSNZ members only and space are limited - register today.
