Patient perspectives in PV at the ISoP Mid-Year Symposium – New podcast episode

Perspective / 24 June 2025

Patient engagement was a hot topic at the fireside chat held during this year’s ISoP mid-year symposium.


Held in Uppsala, Sweden in the middle of May, the theme of this year's mid-year symposium of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP) was Improving information capture for safer use of medicines. The episode is an abridged recording of the fireside chat concluding the conference, where Angela Caro Rojas (president of ISoP), Linda Härmark (director of the Drug Safety Research Unit in the UK), Ghita Benabdallah (national pharmacovigilance centre of Morocco, member of the IsoP advisory board), and Daniele Sartori (senior pharmacovigilance researcher at Uppsala Monitoring Centre), discuss patient engagement in pharmacovigilance.

The symposium was a collaboration between ISoP and UMC.
