Overview

At the King's College London we offer a phd degree in Old Age Psychiatry Research. Members of the Department’s team carry out biological and clinical research that we believe will have important impact upon our understanding of dementia and other mental illnesses that affect older people and lead to the development of better treatments.

Features

We do this by working in close collaboration with the IoPPN’s Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute, NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health and SLaM Mental Health of Older Adults clinical services.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Our research into the basic biology of Alzheimer’s disease and the conduct of randomised controlled trials is internationally regarded.

We have a particular commitment to the conduct of high quality independent clinical trials because the results of these can impact positively upon the availability of effective treatments.
