DESCRIPTION:Dr Wheeler's research interests include studying different mea
 ns of improving patient safety\, focusing on drug administration. He uses 
 high fidelity simulation to recreate emergency scenarios in which randomis
 ed studies can be undertaken examining doctors’ and nurses’ abilities 
 to administer parenteral drugs correctly. Much of his research makes a str
 ong case for clearer drug labelling and more widespread use of pre-filled 
 syringes\, especially generic drugs. In recognition that the market for pr
 e-filled syringes containing generic drugs is in its infancy\, he has deve
 loped a novel medical device for drawing up drugs from ampoules and labell
 ing syringes safely.
