  5. Animals Science Knowledge / Skills Ethics / Attitude Objective Independent Impartial v Society Owners / Keepers

  6. benefits / risk of vmps • cost / benefits of monitoring system

  7. VMPs are very important tools in the prevention and control of animal diseases • Veterinary practitioners would like to have • broad range of products for all species and indications (incl MUMS) • that are reliable i.e. have a good and predictable efficacy and safety

  8. Veterinarians believe that current • product safety and efficacy evaluations required for obtaining a marketing authorisation • and batch tests • are solid

  9. Veterinary practitioners see the need for continuous monitoring of vmps under field conditions ! • To have a better understanding of the product • To be re-assured that a product is efficacious and safe • To be alerted in case something goes wrong or

  10. Adverse effects are unwanted, • especially in case • they were not foreseen • they are serious and / or long-lasting • where groups of animals are involved • where the owner is worried

  11. Reasons for veterinary practitioners to report (suspected) product failure • Ethical and legal obligation • Prevention of future cases (general interest) • For compensation of damage (per case)

  12. Veterinarians are more • motivated to report adverse effects, when they see an added value: • when they encounter something new • when it is considered a serious case • when it does not cause too much extra work • preferably on-line reporting • when they get feedback on the report • when the owner of the animal complains

  13. Balancing risk / benefits of vmps • Normal authorisation procedure • By CA for immunologicals in the event of serious epizootic diseases • Post marketing surveillance / Pharmacovigilance • By veterinary practitioner case by case

  14. Balancing the monitoring system • Veterinary practitioners wish to • have limited administrative procedures (simple as possible) • get feedback on indivisual cases • get feedback on the system / trends (make it visible) • avoid disproportionate concerns about possible adverse reactions

  15. How far do we want to go? • What are the priorities? • What is proportionate? • In relation to the effect as such • In relation to other Community animal health and welfare policies

  16. Recommendation: a more intelligent use of the expertise available through the veterinary practitioners
