About the Psychopharmacology Special
Interest Group
About the
Psychopharmacology SIG
The inaugural meeting of the Special Interest Group in
Psychopharmacology was held at the Royal College of Psychiatrists
on 3 May 2000. Approximately 250 members of the College had
expressed interest in the establishment of this Group. The main
aims of the Psychopharmacology SIG are:
- to promote teaching, research and the clinical practice of
psychopharmacology as related to psychiatry
- provide advice to the College on matters within the remit of
psychopharmacology, as requested.
These aims will be pursued in collaboration with various bodies
both inside and outside the College. There is a good
degree of common ground with the British Association for
Psychopharmacology, and strong links between the Psychopharmacology
SIG and the BAP are envisaged.
