Dr Peak is Director of Research at Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust and Co-director of the Cheshire, Merseyside and North Wales Medicines for Children Local Research Network (CMNW LRN) and Visiting Professor at UClan.
Matthew Peak’s research work has clear resonance within the Families, Children and Life Transitions group as it focuses on real-life problems associated with children’s medicines management. His work focuses on children’s medicines and it is at the cutting edge of medicines formulation, adverse drug reactions in children and the wider field of medicines safety in children. A track record of collaborations and outputs exist between Arnott and Peak. Current research studies underway and those being developed within the Families, Children and Life Transitions Group are focusing on aspects of medicines safety (e.g., within paediatric intensive care). Peak and Carter are collaborating with colleagues on the development of a study (due submission 2014) of pharmacological management of postoperative pain particularly in relation to efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of analgesics.
In addition Carter and Peak have worked closely over the past five years in developing the Children’s Nursing Research Unit at Alder Hey; this initiative has facilitated the development of clinical-academic research careers (pre and post-doctoral) for children’s nurses within the Trust and helped create joint University-Trust appointments
