£75,000 for research on pharmacy errors

The Community Pharmacy Research Consortium is offering up to £75,000 to support research into the main types of errors and near misses in community pharmacy, their incidence, their causes and how they can be reduced by improved systems (see Article, p91).

The consortium expects the project to take no more than nine months to complete. It wants the research to be generalisable and applicable across all community pharmacy settings.

Further information is available from Zoe Whittington at the Royal Pharmaceutcal Society (tel 020 7572 2276; e-mail zwhittington@rpsgb.org.uk). The deadline for applications is 14 March 2003.
