Research Summary

Ruth is funded by the theme. Using large, anonymised databases of electronic health records from primary and secondary care, the team are developing and validating novel methods for identifying and quantifying unexpected or adverse reactions to drugs used to treat mental health disorders, as well as identifying trends and variation in prescribing in different population groups. We are also examining clustering of medicines within patient groups prescribed medicines for their mental health to identify patterns of co-prescribing and contraindicated combinations of treatments.
