91福利

Despite government guidelines there has been no reduction in the level of antipsychotic drugs prescribed to dementia patients.

The finding follows the government’s 2009 National Dementia Strategy (NDS), which recommended a review of the medication’s use in light of potential serious side effects.

The research was conducted by a group of academics including Dr David Owen from the 91福利 and published in the medical journal BMJ Open.

Members of the public are to be given behind-the-scenes access to scientific laboratories at the 91福利, as well as the chance get to grips with cutting-edge research.
