Service delivery put under the research spotlight
The Community Pharmacy Research Consortium (CPRC)
has commissioned two pieces of research from the University of Aberdeen
as part of its second research programme “Service delivery and organisation
in community pharmacy” (PJ, 17 February, p233).
The research, on structure and organisation of practice
and the process of innovation in community pharmacy, will consist of reviews
of the literature and development of proposals for future research. The
research team will be led by Professor Christine Bond and Dr Angus Laing,
and is a collaboration between the Department of General Practice and
Primary Care and the Department of Management at the University of Aberdeen.
The CPRC, comprising the Company Chemists Association,
the National Pharmaceutical Association, the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating
Committee, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and the Scottish
Pharmaceutical General Council, aims to provide the initial financial
investment needed to develop the research effort in community pharmacy.
Enquiries about this programme or general enquiries about the consortium
can be directed to Zoe Whittington, practice research manager at the Society
(tel 020 7735 9141 ext 406).
