This exciting and interesting job puts you at the heart of authorising veterinary medicines in the UK. You will be a senior assessor within the Human and Environmental Safety Team, which is part of the VMD’s Authorisations Division.
Assessment of data relating to human risk assessments being the primary focus, with secondary requirements being the assessment of environmental safety.
