On Friday 17th April 2009 you could attend a one day course at Aston University on drug metabolism.

Drug metabolism exerts a powerful influence on drug action - from complete failure of a drug’s effectiveness to life-threatening toxicity. This course focuses on the aims, responses and processes of human drug biotransformation systems. As a result, it will assist health care professionals - particularly new prescribers (e.g. nurses, podiatrists or optometrists) to develop their drug therapy practices.

It’s hosted by Prof Michael Coleman, who combines academia with being cool and witty in equal measure.
