In 2011, Gwen graduated as a pharmacist. After 8 years in pharmacy, it was time for a new challenge. On April 29, 2019, she joined EG as a Regulatory Affairs Officer (RAO), where she was responsible for registering new products and obtaining new licenses. As RAO, she was also in charge of preparing new launches together with other departments. An example is the collaboration between Regulatory Affairs and the Artwork team. Together they ensure that all regulatory text ends up correctly on the box or insert and that they comply with the EG design. She was also responsible for answering pharmaceutical technical questions. This included answering questions from doctors, pharmacists and patients regarding the composition and storage of EG products and the crushability of our products. When the opportunity arose 4 years later to take on the position of Drug Safety Officer, Gwen grabbed it with both hands!
Her knowledge and experience as an RA Officer have helped her within the job of Drug Safety Officer where she is responsible for safety-related issues within the EG portfolio. This includes reporting side effects within the legal deadlines. This allows the European Medicines Agency to evaluate drug safety at regular intervals and take actions if necessary. It is also responsible for preparing and distributing the documents and materials needed to minimize risks associated with certain medicines.
A few months ago, she also took on a piece of responsibility within Medical Affairs, where she provides support in answering medical questions, reviewing promotional materials, and training external and internal colleagues.
