Society seeks practice research medallist
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society is inviting nominations and applications for the 2004 British Pharmaceutical Conference practice research medal. The award
is intended to recognise individuals aged up to 45 who have made a significant
contribution to pharmacy practice research and have the potential to
become a leader in the field.
The winner of the medal will receive a cheque for £1,000 and will
be invited to deliver a lecture at the British Pharmaceutical Conference
in September 2004. The lecture should be based primarily on the applicant’s
own research but should also draw on relevant published work from related
fields including health policy.
The Society’s practice research adjudicating panel will review
applications in February 2004. The panel will invite short-listed candidates
to submit their lecture title, an outline of their research areas, the
topics to be covered and a statement of how the research will contribute
to knowledge in relation to health care generally and pharmacy practice
specifically.
An academic curriculum vitae, including details of publications and professional
and academic record (including peer review experience and significant
grants held), will also be required. Applicants do not necessarily have
to be based in a school of pharmacy and need not be pharmacists. Overseas
applicants are welcome. Applications or nominations, accompanied by a
CV and a short supporting statement (up to two sides of A4), should be
sent by 31 December to Judy Callanan, Practice Research Secretariat,
Royal Pharmaceutical Society, 1 Lambeth High Street, London SE1 7JN.
The 2004 British Pharmaceutical Conference will take place at Manchester
International Convention Centre from Monday 27 to Wednesday 29 September.
The award is sponsored by Chemist & Druggist magazine. Previous winners
are Dr Felicity Smith (1999), Professor Judy Cantrill (2000), Dr Carmel
Hughes (2001), Dr Janie Sheridan (2002) and Dr Karen Hassell (2003).
