The Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology department (CPT), in the School of Clinical Medicine, St Vincent's Healthcare Clinical Campus, and UNSW Medicine & Health, was established by Professor Denis Wade in 1970.
The CPT Department focuses on promoting the safe and effective use of medicine as well as patient safety at St Vincent’s Hospital and in the community.
Research is a large part of who we are and what we do. Our ultimate goal is safe and effective therapy for patients.
We provide leadership in clinical pharmacology, toxicology, therapeutics and quality use of medicines locally, nationally and internationally through our research, teaching and training, advisory roles and collaborations. We focus on understanding inter-subject variation in response to medicines through high quality clinical research.
Our research strengths are built around our clinical activities and collaborations and include:
There is increasing interest in PP for a range of conditions, but little is known about the prevalence and patterns of use of psychedelics in the Australian community.
