Course Venues

The venues for our meetings are carefully chosen to provide pleasant accommodation and excellent travel accessibility. Meetings are generally held in Southampton which is only one hour 10 minutes from central London by fast train. In addition Southampton airport has regular flights to and from Europe. Taxis may also be organised at very reasonable prices from either London Heathrow or Gatwick by special arrangement. Some of our meetings are regularly held in central London. The venue details for individual meetings are provided on registration.

Speakers

The DSRU’s experienced staff and invited international speakers have a wealth of expertise gained over many years in drug safety, and each programme is carefully developed by experts. The content of the meetings is regularly revised to reflect developments and feedback from delegates. All courses and symposia have traditionally been awarded Continuing Professional Development points by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine.
