Clinical pharmacology facing the real-world setting: Pharmacovigilance, pharmacoepidemiology and the economic evaluation of drugs

Adverse drug reaction; Effectiveness; PharmacoeconomicsReacció adversa als fàrmacs; Eficàcia; FarmacoeconomiaReacción adversa a medicamentos; Eficacia; FarmacoeconomíaTraditionally, clinical pharmacology has focused its activities on drug-organism interaction, from an individual or collective perspective. Drug efficacy assessment by performing randomized clinical trials and analysis of drug use in clinical practice by carrying out drug utilization studies have also been other areas of interest. From now on, Clinical pharmacology should move from the analysis of the drug-individual interaction to the analysis of the drug-individual-society interaction. It should also analyze the clinical and economic consequences of the use of drugs in the conditions of normal clinical practice, beyond clinical trials. The current exponential technological development that facilitates the analysis of real-life data offers us a golden opportunity to move to all these other areas of interest. This review describes the role that clinical pharmacology has played at the beginning and during the evolution of pharmacovigilance, pharmacoepidemiology and economic drug evaluations in Spain. In addition, the challenges that clinical pharmacology is going to face in the following years in these three areas are going to be outlined too

Key Learning Outcomes for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics Education in Europe: A Modified Delphi Study.

Harmonizing clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) education in Europe is necessary to ensure that the prescribing competency of future doctors is of a uniform high standard. As there are currently no uniform requirements, our aim was to achieve consensus on key learning outcomes for undergraduate CPT education in Europe. We used a modified Delphi method consisting of three questionnaire rounds and a panel meeting. A total of 129 experts from 27 European countries were asked to rate 307 learning outcomes. In all, 92 experts (71%) completed all three questionnaire rounds, and 33 experts (26%) attended the meeting. 232 learning outcomes from the original list, 15 newly suggested and 5 rephrased outcomes were included. These 252 learning outcomes should be included in undergraduate CPT curricula to ensure that European graduates are able to prescribe safely and effectively. We provide a blueprint of a European core curriculum describing when and how the learning outcomes might be acquired

Farmadrid 29: Reunión de Farmacólogos de la Comunidad de Madrid

Libro de resúmenes del congresoFarmadrid es la Reunión Anual de Farmacólogos de la Comunidad de Madrid, donde tienen cabida todos los profesionales que se dediquen a la investigación en Farmacología desde todos los campos que engloba. Se celebra desde 1992 promovida por el Instituto Teófilo Hernando y solamente fue pausada por la pandemia de la COVID-19. Aunque el ámbito geográfico es la Comunidad de Madrid, no hay restricciones para la participación de farmacólogos/investigadores de otras Comunidades AutónomasInstituto Teófilo HernandoUniversidad de AlcaláSociedad Española de FarmacologíaFundación Española de FarmacologíaFundación Lill
