Foundation programme
Introduction to Peptides in Health and Disease
Clinical foundations and evidence-based reasoning
The Clinical Gateway module: the why and how peptides have moved into clinical practice. Rather than focusing on individual compounds, participants learn how experienced clinicians evaluate emerging therapies when the evidence is evolving.
About this programme
This Clinical Gateway module — the why and how peptides have moved into clinical practice — establishes the reasoning, governance and evidence-appraisal framework used throughout the Institute's clinical curriculum. It is deliberately compound-agnostic: its purpose is to train clinicians how to think about emerging therapies, not what to prescribe.
Learning objectives
- Map the current evidence landscape for therapeutic peptides.
- Apply structured tools to critically appraise different study designs.
- Reason transparently under conditions of evolving evidence.
- Recognise governance and safety principles relevant to emerging therapies.
- Communicate uncertainty to patients in a way that supports informed consent.
- Identify the regulatory boundaries that apply in EU clinical practice.
