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 these live statistics and trends of ketamine deaths in England and Wales, updating in real-time, when coroners write to organisations raising concerns to take action.
