Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy Practice
The Clinical & Practice Research group conducts multidisciplinary research to enhance healthcare quality in Singapore and beyond. Pharmacy Practice Research focuses on improving patient and caregiver outcomes through both macro and micro-level approaches in advancing areas such as pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, and pharmacoeconomics, while also driving clinical and quality improvement initiatives in settings such as ambulatory care, internal medicine, oncology, nephrology and infectious diseases. This work is further strengthened by systems science approaches to support effective and evidence-based healthcare delivery.
Among the most recent and impactful discoveries, this research group has gained remarkable attention for:
• Improving supportive and survivorship care in patients with cancer
• Evaluating the impact of antibiotic stewardship training programmes
• Development of innovative ambulatory care services for patients with chronic diseases
• Improving management of anaemia, mineral and bone disorders, as well as quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease
• Cost-effectiveness analyses of pharmaceuticals, diagnostic tests and health services
• The impact of CYP2C19 guided P2Y12 inhibitor use in Acute Coronary Syndrome patients
• Test, Advise and Go! (T.A.G.) Social Outreach programs and its possible positioning in Healthier SG
• Pharmacist-led post Myocardial Infarction care (AMI-HOPE) improvements over standard care
