Its main objective is to carry out research of excellence in the use of medicines in the field of Primary Care.
The unit has expertise in carrying out studies with different methodologies. The main lines of research are interrelated and form part of two main areas:
Pharmacoepidemiological and pharmacovigilance studies with large databases focused on studying the effectiveness and safety of medicines in real conditions of use and in understudied populations, such as children, polymedicated patients, pregnancy, lactation and the elderly.
Prospective studies with the inclusion of patients, fundamentally clinical trials with medicines and healthcare products that respond to the specific needs of Primary Care, with a pragmatic design that emulates clinical practice itself and, at the same time, generates new scientific evidence, facilitating the transfer of knowledge to healthcare.
