Course summary

The Medicines Optimisation theme is made of up a broad selection of practitioners and researchers from pharmacy, health services research and social scientists. The work undertaken as part of the theme is informed by direct experience of medicines within clinical practice and aims to improve how medicines are presribed and reviewed professionally, looking at the information provided about medication and the reasons why patients do and don't take medicines. Pharmacists, health services researchers and social scientists working on research derived from our direct experience with medicines use in clinical practice. We are interested in 'medicines optimisation'ː how medicines are prescribed and reviewed by health professionals, the impact of information people get with their medicines, and how and why people do – and do not - take their medicines. We collaborate with colleagues nationally (at the University of Bradford, University of East Anglia, and Queen’s University Belfast) and internationally (in Utrecht, Sydney, and North Carolina).
