\n \n \n \nSchool funded research, led by Professor Carol Coupland at the University of Nottingham and recently published in the BMJ, suggests that commonly used antidepressants, known as \u2018selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors\u2019 (SSRIs), are not associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular conditions, such as heart attacks and strokes in people aged below 65.

\n \n \n \nResearchers across four School departments have been involved in a project to explore the causes of the evidence to practice gap (2nd translational gap) for complex interventions in primary care and what strategies are effective for closing the gap. The project, led by Professor Elizabeth Murray (UCL) and Professor Bie Nio Ong (Keele), completed last year and the team were invited to present their findings to the NIHR Evaluations Trials and Studies (NETSCC).

\n \n \n \nDespite antidepressant prescribing in primary care increasing since the financial crisis, a SPCR study shows that GPs have responded to the introduction of NICE guidelines and QOF measures that encourage more targeted use of antidepressants. Prescription of antidepressants in people with a first bout of depression has fallen by 12 percent between 2003 and 2013, from around 73% to 61%.
