King's College London

The Medicines Use Research Group provides expertise on the evaluation, optimisation and risk associated with medicines. Its translational research directs prescribing practice and pharmaceutical care in order to benefit patients. It includes the Centre for Adherence Research & Education and is how King’s Health Partners clinical academic pharmacists link into the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science. Bringing together academics, clinicians and students across KHP it focuses on:

  • Non-adherence to medicines
  • Medication-related harm, frailty and ageing
  • Pharmaceutical formulations and care in paediatrics
  • Optimal dosing, safety and use of anticoagulants where uncertainty exists
  • Psychotropic drugs in the treatment of mental illness

Medicines Safety Bulletin

The Pharmaceutical Sciences Clinical Academic Group produces a monthly bulletin on medicines safety notices that are pertinent to different parts of KHP. Many issues relate to all parts of KHP collaboration across trusts means that messaging can be targeted, that effort is not duplicated and that information is received from a single source.

Pharmaceutical Sciences CAG Research Activity Bulletin

PSCAG reports every two months on peer-reviewed publications authored by NHS staff within the CAG. Many of these papers are in collaboration with colleagues at King’s College London, but KCL itself maintains its own record of publications on the Pharmaceutical Science website, listed by KCL staff member.
