Читать книгу Cobert's Manual Of Drug Safety And Pharmacovigilance (Third Edition) - William Gregory - Страница 77

There are many resources on the internet. They are ever-changing, with new ones appearing, old ones disappearing, and current ones changing:

Government e-mail alerts, e-newsletters, Facebook, Twitter and others: The FDA, EMA, MHRA, Health Canada, TGA, and many other governmental agencies issue periodic alerts in various fora.

Fierce Pharma (https://www.fiercepharma.com/): This is a set of daily publications on various areas of the industry.

Blogs: There are many blogs on the pharma industry, some serious, some outrageous, some outraged, all opinionated. They change frequently and their credibility varies. Best found by a periodic Google search. Caveat emptor.

Google Alerts: An excellent Google function is called Google Alerts. This is an automated mechanism that can be set up on Google to deliver, as news becomes available, daily or weekly information found on the net. The use of keywords such as “PV” and “drug safety” will bring interesting news, press releases, blog addresses, and sites (https://www.google.com/alerts).

It is easy to spend one’s entire day just reading blogs and news on the Internet. A good compromise would be to find one or two sources that provide the updates the reader needs for his or her work. Attending a conference on drug safety once or twice a year is also valuable for both updates and networking.
