Freedom of Information response from University of Bristol

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request.

The University of Bristol has historically conducted its research in psychopharmacology through the provision of consultants to carry out clinical work with Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP), having association with and providing the administrative function for this work. Following a recent University wide redundancy exercise, the consultant who was responsible for leading the research in this area at the University was selected for redundancy.

The University has not made any decision to formally close down studies in psychopharmacology, though is aware that the departure of a clinically-active member of staff will impact on the services offered by AWP.

The University is not responsible for providing clinical services and research into psychopharmacology will continue at the University.
