The British Pharmacological Society is a membership charity with a mission to promote and advance all disciplines of pharmacology in the discovery, development and use of medicines. We are an inclusive, nurturing, and professional global community with more than 4,000 members from more than 60 countries. Our approach is bold – the discipline of pharmacology is evolving, and it is our responsibility to define, redefine, and advance the discipline. Pharmacology is at the forefront of our fight to help ensure everyone can live healthy lives for longer. We use the term pharmacology to encompass all areas of the science of drugs and medicine and we recognise that pharmacologists work across multi-disciplinary boundaries. Pharmacology makes a unique contribution to research to develop new drugs, and to improving the use of existing drugs for better patient outcomes.
