The Norwegian Society for Pharmacoepidemiology
(NFFE) is a multidisciplinary, nation-wide network of
professionals involved in the field of pharmacoepidemiology. Pharmacoepidemiology is the science that
bridges epidemiologic methodology with clinical pharmacology and clinical pharmacy, for studying the use,
effectiveness, value and safety of pharmaceuticals1
.
The foundation of NFFE took into account the
growing value of real-world data in assessing potential
benefits and risks of medication use, and capitalized on
the growing availability of linkable, nation-wide health
registries and large population-based cohorts in
Norway. In this short commentary, we briefly describe
the history and mission of the society, and our current
and future activities to foster high-quality research and
education at national and international level.
