UCL Fight The Fakes

This year, the #FTF Week theme is keeping patients safe by securing the global supply chain🌍 Watch our multi-lingual video below to learn more and let's Fight the Fakes! 💊 #FightTheFakes

Google banned ads for deadly pill-making machines. They were still posted for sale — until a reporter asked masslive.com/news/2026/01/g…

A new @LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor survey reveals 28% of respondents knowingly purchased weight-loss jabs #GLP1s from unlicensed sellers on social media and the dark web. This is a clear regulatory failure. It’s time to hold tech platforms accountable for the sale of #fakemeds.

INSPIRED, EXHAUSTED & READY TO RENEW - thank you to everyone who made this years #PAweek25 a success!

Blown away by how a small team of public health experts & epidemiologists at @Yale is doing what *entire governments* won’t: helping bring Ukraine’s stolen children home. #PublicHealth is more than disease surveillance—it’s applying those skills for resistance, justice, and accountability in the face of atrocity.
Where is the rest of our academic & research community in supporting Ukraine? We don’t have to be bystanders in war - as shown by the inspiring leadership of @nattyray11 at @HRL_YaleSPH, using open-source intelligence, forensic analysis & satellite imagery to:
– Track abducted 🇺🇦 children
– Map attacks on hospitals & infrastructure
– Issue early warnings to prevent atrocities
– Build legal cases for accountability This is what modern public health looks like in wartime.

Shining from our technical team: Alison Dolling explains the importance of sustainability in lab classes & LEAF Clear labelling needed for lab classes & training so people can know how best to implement sustainability practices #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences

Canada spends $1bn a year on medicines for older adults that are potentially inappropriate for the patient. Dr Justin Turner explains how inappropriate medicines contribute to sustainability problems across the globe #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences

Using gamification - how useful can it be to help healthcare professionals in their learning? Is it worth all the effort? #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences

One of the things we do together at PharmAlliance is fund CDT students - where there are students at each partner site working on the same project together. It's a great way to facilitate long-term collaborations #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences @PhrmAlliance

Teaching people how to use AI in their research. Masterclasses work well and building a community of researchers that can share ideas together #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences @PhrmAlliance

By using virtual reality and AI we can achieve so much more in our online teaching - some nice examples from Steve Hilton about implementing these approaches in undergraduate and outreach programmes #PAWeek2025 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences @PhrmAlliance @hiltonlab

Day 1 of #PAWeek25 ended with a Signature Session on global trends in #medicationsafety with a welcome from @School_Pharmacy Director Cate Whittlesea and Keynote from @ProfIAbubakar followed by a panelist of experts on substandard and falsified meds!
