ABOUT PETER DEWLAND
Having qualified in Biochemistry and Medicine at St Thomas’s Hospital, London I embarked upon a series of posts aimed at training me for General Medical Practice. These included Medicine, Surgery, Accident and Emergency, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Paediatrics. I had a short spell of 4 years as a GP but was tempted to move into the then embryonic CRO industry. I continued my training gaining a Masters in Medical Ethics and a Diploma in Clinical Pharmacology. I became a founder member of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine at the Royal College of Physicians and I am now involved in both training and examining students there for their various post graduate qualifications.I concentrated on early phase research and helped grow the UK’s oldest Phase I unit to become a successful and thriving business. During this era I worked in most therapeutic areas and developed many PD markers and human disease models. I developed an interest in Research Ethics and started the first national training course for members of Ethics Committees which ran for 18 years and whose function has been taken over by HRA. In 1997 I felt the need to experience later phase research so joined a large global CRO and gained experience in Phases II and in several therapeutic areas. In that post I started and built up a successful, international Medical Affairs Department and also took over the company’s dealings with Japan. I returned to my original CRO to take control of the Phase I unit again. I am now an independent Consultant in Pharmaceutical Medicine with my expertise spanning the whole field whilst my main interest remains in early phase studies. I enjoy teaching both physicians and scientists on a variety of courses associated with pharmaceutical development.I am Chair of Phase1 Advisory Board to HRA. I have been responsible for MHRA accreditation of four separate UK Phase 1 units.In 2020 I was proud to be awarded the President’s Medal by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine for services to Pharmaceutical Medicine.Specialties: Clinical PharmacologyPharmaceutical MedicineTeaching and training
