Aims & History
The BAP Office in Cambridge
The BAP was founded in 1974, with the general intention of bringing together those from clinical and experimental disciplines as well as members of the pharmaceutical industry involved in the study of psychopharmacology. To this end the Association arranges scientific meetings, fosters research and teaching, encourages publication of results of research and provides guidance and information to the public on matters relevant to psychopharmacology, where appropriate
The BAP organises scientific meetings and symposia during the course of the year, covering all aspects of psychopharmacology from basic research to pharmaceutical development and clinical application. The Association has produced a range of consensus statements on the treatment of clinical disorders as well as on the investigation of psychopharmaceutical compounds.
BAP is committed to providing high-quality education for scientists and organises a number of educational and training events.
The BAP is one of the largest national psychopharmacology associations in the world.
