Research at Sydney Pharmacy School

Our researchers in health services and patient safety have a strong commitment to research that facilitates the quality use of medicines, medicines safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of health interventions. 

Our research takes a system-wide view to ensure that research and innovation is able to improve health outcomes for consumers and improve the safety and effectiveness of the health system.

Initiatives

• Launched in conjunction with the Charles Perkins Centre, we have established the first cleaninghouse and incubator for data and research on evidence, influence and pharmaceutical policy. 

• We're working with researchers from the University and abroad in this NHMRC-funded project that examines the effects of national medication safety warnings on healthcare delivery and patient safety. 

• Our researchers are participating in a trial to evaluate models of pharmacy-based opportunistic risk assessment, screening and referral services for type 2 diabetes in previously undiagnosed populations.  

• We're collaborating with highly dedicated and internationally recognised researchers to generate vital information about the role that medicines play over Australians' lifetimes.

• Working with colleagues at the Fiji National University, our researchers are working to research issues that Fiji faces with respect to medicine supply and procurement, aiming to inform policy and subsequent system-wide change in the region.
