Our missions

A+ A-
As an agency responsible for providing expertise and supporting decision-making, ANSM acts in the interest of patients by ensuring the safety of health products. It dialogues with patients and healthcare professionals on an ongoing basis, to inform its action in the light of real-life practices and needs. In its role as a national competent authority, it represents France and engages in dialogue with European and international bodies. It then endeavours to ensure that its decisions are known and understood, so that the greatest number may   be aware of them, thereby promoting everyone’s safety.
 

Informing our audiences


The Agency continues to be strongly committed to informing its audiences. It is developing a more educational approach to its communication, pursuing an increasingly proactive information strategy, especially through its relations with the media and its stakeholders, and building up its social media presence.

ANSM’s different activities (including assessments, decisions, studies, actions to protect patient safety, etc.) facilitate its production of reference information pertaining to health product safety for its audiences: patients, the general public, health professionals, the scientific community, and industry. All of the information provided is intended to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and support the implementation of the many decisions made by the Agency.

The expertise of patients and professionals in the field is sought on a regular basis in order to improve the understanding and effectiveness of the information produced by the Agency.

Brochures, posters, infographics, videos... ANSM develops tools tailored to each of its audiences.

ANSM provides information through various channels :

Healthcare professional alert process
In the case of a major alert or emergency, the Agency is able to notify healthcare professionals (doctors, pharmacists, midwives, nurse practitioners, etc.) directly by email, to forward the safety information and recommended course of action for the professionals concerned and/or their patients.

In addition, ANSM has access to a tool developed by the French National Board of Pharmacists, capable of displaying the same message on all community pharmacy IT systems simultaneously. This tool known as “DP Alerte” keeps pharmacists informed of safety measures and information that is meant to protect patients in real time (e.g. batch recalls, stock shortages affecting essential medicines, etc.), so that they can take immediate action.
