DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--"A Practical Guide to Writing Risk Management Plans (RMPs) Training Course (Mar 20, 2026)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In the EU, all companies are required to provide risk management plans (RMPs) for every new product, whether generic products or new chemical entities, and these RMPs must also be modified and updated throughout the lifetime of a medicine.

This intensive one-day course will provide you with an invaluable overview of writing and maintaining RMPs, with practical advice to ensure you achieve regulatory compliance. You will discuss best practice for using the EU templates and risk minimisation tools to enhance the benefit/risk of your product.

The programme has been fully revised to cover the latest updates and new requirements, including amendments made to the previous template.
