摘要：Adverse drug reactions are crucial events related to drug usage that ought to be reported and the effects of which can be minimized by careful and vigilant use of drugs. Pharmacovigilance refers to the systematic practice of reporting, assessing and preventing such events. Although such practice is vital in any healthcare system, its actual implementation has been found to be very limited in a country like Nepal. With the aim of disseminating information about such events and the role of healthcare professionals in pharmacovigilance, a one-day workshop was organized with international and national speakers on this subject at Nepal Cancer Hospital and Research Center, Lalitpur, Nepal, which also has a regional pharmacovigilance center . The workshop included lectures and hands-on training and had an audience from diverse fields of healthcare such as pharmacy, medical, surgical and radiation oncology, pathology and nursing staff. The feedback from the participants revealed that practical demonstration and hands-on training with extensive topic coverage were the best feature of the workshop, while less interaction during the lectures was a source of dissatisfaction with a recommendation to conduct more events focused on similar topics in the future.
