Practice research awards for 2003 announced
Three pharmacy practice research awards, with a total value of £40,000, have been announced for 2003 by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
Rachel Howard, Nottingham Primary Care Research Partnership, has been
awarded the £10,000 Galen award. She will use the award to conduct
a qualitative study of drug-related admissions to hospital from primary
care.
Two Sir Hugh Linstead Fellowships are being funded by a grant from the
Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust. Rachel Britton, a community pharmacist
undertaking a PhD at the University of Bath, will receive £13,000
to investigate the quality and standard of pharmaceutical care provision
to drug misusers and to develop a good practice model.
The second fellowship has been awarded to Tim O’Donoghue and John
Foreman, Greenlight Pharmacy, London. They have developed a novel pharmacist
consultation process based on concordance and will use the £17,000
awarded to investigate the outcomes of using this consultation process.
