Husband's research centers on the safe and effective use of medicines, encompassing prescribing and deprescribing decisions, particularly in older adults, frail patients, palliative care, and hospital settings. His interests include medication adherence influenced by disease states, social backgrounds, and access barriers for minority ethnic communities; rational medicines use; the role of information technology in decision-making; and pharmacy education through integrated curricula that align scientific foundations with clinical practice to foster problem-solving under pressure. Key publications include "Integration and connection: the key to effectiveness of large-scale pharmacist-led medication reviews?" (BMJ Quality & Safety, 2024), "Deprescribing Interventions in Older Adults: An Overview of Systematic Reviews" (PLoS ONE, 2024), "The association between polypharmacy and mortality in patients with heart failure: Results from the PULSE dataset" (ESC Heart Failure, 2025), "Medication errors in community pharmacies: a systematic review of the international literature" (PLoS One, 2025), and "Cultural Competency in Research: A Practical Framework for Use by Researchers, Policymakers, Community Leads and Others When Working With People From Diverse Groups" (Health Expectations, 2026). He aims to build a world-class school delivering impactful research and education on medicines use and development.
