Prof Nigel Ratcliffe opens 2013-14 Inaugural Lecture series
On Monday 23 September 2013, Professor Nigel Ratcliffe, Head of the School of Pharmacy, gave the opening lecture in Keele University's programme of Inaugural Professorial Lectures 2013-14.
He said the Pharmaceutical environment is changing rapidly and so is the industry that works within it. In his talk, "The Pharmaceutical Industry is Broken? What Must the Pharmacist Do?" he explored the development of the pharmaceutical industry, the pressures on it, the consumer's view, the impact that modern medicines have on society and society's reaction and perceptions.
He looked at the effects of litigious pressures and the cost of medicines, examined the current model and what the future holds. Nigel was particularly keen to see that society understands the contribution that industry and pharmaceutical development brings.
Nigel is pictured with the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nick Foskett, and the Dean of Health, Professor Andy Garner.
