Medicine Safety
needed to work at the Uppsala Monitoring Centre
Join a high-level international team in developing patient safety methodology for the future.
The Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) is co-ordinating a consortium of 11 international
partners in Europe, Asia and Africa, (including WHO), charged with the task of developing
new approaches to the collection, analysis and dissemination of information regarding the
safety of medicines. The 3 year project, called Monitoring Medicines, is supported
financially by the European Commission (EC) as part of its 7th Framework programme
(FP-7 - Health - 2007). In addition, the UMC is also actively involved in the FP-7 funded
project PROTECT running for five years with the aim of developing improved methods
for pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance. In PROTECT, the UMC serves as a
member of the steering committee and as co-leader for one of its seven work packages.
The Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) is looking to recruit an experienced and selfstarting
project coordinator who, instructed by the project management team, will ensure
adherence to project plans, timelines and reporting obligations. The Monitoring Medicines
project has 14 work packages which include development of tools for direct patient
reporting, medication error analysis, active surveillance of treated patients and tools for
knowledge sharing and management of treatment-related adverse events in HIV/AIDS
patients. In PROTECT, the work-package lead by the UMC involves a large number of
public and private partners working together to develop methods for improved safety
signal detection and analysis.

made according to the accepted project plan, and to flag any significant deviations from

Ensure that instructions for recipients of FP-7 grants are adhered to
Experience / qualifications required

projects funded by the European Commission will be an advantage.
