Abstract:
:The UK Drug Utilization Research Group's (DURG) Regional Meeting 'New Horizons: Pharmacovigilance' was hosted by the Drug Safety Research Unit (DSRU) at Southampton on 19 May 2000. Opening the meeting, Dr Keith Beard, UK DURG chairman, welcomed delegates and speakers and thanked the DSRU team for hosting the meeting. With reference to the theme of the meeting - new horizons in pharmacovigilance - Dr Beard said that drug utilization is a very broad subject area. Introducing the first speaker Dr Saad Shakir, Director of the DSRU, Dr Beard said 'no horizon is going to be newer or more exciting than that of pharmacogenomics'.
