Editorial
Welcome back! Nine months ago I upgraded to Windows XP Home Edition and discovered to my horror that I could not connect with the host server. After many months reviewing support documentation and talking to web professionals the awful truth was revealed; to connect MS Frontpage with the server I needed Windows XP Professional Edition. Rather than invest again on WinXP I changed my allegiance to Dreamweaver, and while I awaited the host ISP to remove Frontpage extensions took the opportunity to revamp the site. I hope you like it?
A lot has happended in the Pharmacovigilance community in the meantime. Major product withdrawals, massive litigation pending, attacks on the level of watchdog proficiency of regulators, a new deadline for electronic reporting in Europe, and more vigorous inspection practice around the world. I hope to cover some of these topics in the next few months.
Please enjoy this site. Apologies to those looking for the Discussion site, this was managed in an incomprehensible way by Frontpage and I am trying to figure out how to recreate it with Java script. The Regulatory News pages are in the process of redevelopment and updating.
