ICSR Reporting to MHRA -Post Brexit

Regulation updates published by EMA and MHRA effective from January 2021 for the implementation of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland have the following information regarding the ICSR submission:

  1. Serious and Non-serious adverse reactions occurring in Great Britain, and Serious adverse reactions occurring from other countries must be submitted to MHRA.
  2. For UK ICSRs that have not been previously submitted directly to the MHRA, the system schedules a downgrade or nullification report to the MHRA, and also to Eudra Vigilance.
  3. Serious and Non-serious ICSRs for Northern Ireland must continue to be submitted to EudraVigilance and MHRA. A new ISO Country code is introduced specifically for Northern Ireland.
  4. Non-serious adverse reactions occurring in the Great Britain [GB (England, Scotland and Wales)] are no longer submitted to EudraVigilance after the withdrawal date.
  5. Follow-up reports (including nullifications) received for GB non-serious ADRs received prior to the withdrawal date, should continue to be submitted to EudraVigilance using country code GB.
