A web-based survey by the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe, supported by the European Medicines Agency, aimed to assess how veterinarians report adverse events and receive feedback on those reports, with 3545 veterinarians participating.
The results showed significant under-reporting of adverse events and indicated that the reporting system is inadequate, particularly regarding expected efficacy and feedback.
To enhance reporting, there is a need for easier reporting methods (like mobile apps) and better education on the importance of these reports, along with improved feedback systems to motivate veterinarians by showing the usefulness of their contributions to animal health.

- Raquel Gopal's research primarily focuses on veterinary pharmacovigilance and the reporting practices of adverse events associated with veterinary medicines.
- In her 2017 study, a comprehensive web-based survey involving 3545 veterinarians revealed significant under-reporting of adverse events and inadequacies in the feedback system.
- The findings underscore the need for improvements in reporting efficiency and efficacy assessment within the veterinary field to better understand the safety profile of veterinary products.
