YCC Scotland Advisory Group

An important feature of YCC Scotland, Centre for Adverse Reactions to Drugs (Scotland) is its national character. To promote and develop ADR reporting strategies and pharmacovigilance in Scotland, we have established an advisory group to reflect the different professional interests in this area. The group initially met three times a year but now meet twice a year and has already contributed significantly.
