Dame Professor Carol Black, who led the government's independent review on drugs, visited the Division of Psychiatry's addiction research group. In a visit to the Division of Psychiatry in the Department of Brain Sciences , located at Imperial's Hammersmith campus, Professor Dame Carol Black met with researchers working to better understand and tackle addiction, as well as gain insights into the MARC Clinical Addiction training programme.
