SPCR researcher Professor Melanie Calvert and SPCR doctoral student Derek Kyte (University of Birmingham) have had a rapid review published in the BMJ this week, in collaboration with colleagues at UCL. The BMJ invited the group to undertake a review of observational studies investigating the influenza drug Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), to coincide with the publication of an updated systematic review by the Cochrane group that has received a lot of media attention for casting doubt over the efficacy of the antiviral drug, stockpiled in huge quantities in the UK.
