Three members of the Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Dr Anthony Fenech, Head of Department, Prof. Janet Mifsud and Dr Vanessa Petroni recently participated at the 2016 British Pharmacological Society Conference held in London in December 2016.
This is the flagship annual meeting of the British Pharmacological Society and it attracts over 1,300 scientists each year, mostly from the UK but also many from across Europe and overseas. The meeting was organised in conjunction with The American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics and The Chinese Pharmacological Society.
Ongoing research in the Department was presented at the conference which included a selection of topical symposia, plenary lectures, free oral communications and poster sessions which cover the whole spectrum of pharmacology. The Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics was also asked to contribute to the session on Education in Pharmacology and specifically on the UK Prescribing Safety Assessment which is being offered also to final year medical students at the University of Malta.
