Ketamine deaths
Live tracker of coroners’ PFDs due to ketamine since July 2013
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) was calling for evidence on the harms of ketamine, following requests to reclassify it as a Class A substance.
The Preventable Deaths Tracker’s machine-readable database and analytical tools were used to create live statistics on ketamine deaths reported by coroners in Prevention of Future Deaths reports (PFDs) in England and Wales, updating in real-time.
