James Bell

Dania Shamil
Senior Pharmacovigilance Regulations Specialist
“Without the Masters in Pharmacovigilance behind me it would have been difficult to get into the industry as I did not have pharmaceutical industry experience. The qualification has been a talking point in all of my interviews and it has helped me immensely with my career journey thus far.”

Karen Pattenden
Previously Senior Director, Drug Safety & Public Health, Gilead Sciences
“I chose DSRU over other training providers because of the quality of their course content. What you are getting is real and valid experience and not just a regurgitation of the regulations. They are constantly scrutinising and changing and updating the content they present, and their speakers and presenters are actively engaged in pharmacovigilance work.”

“DSRU engage the key stakeholders across the industry including regulators and academics and practicing industry experts to share common knowledge, refinements to current methods and techniques, and importantly transparent interpretation that should be applied in everyday practice.”

Raj Basran
