Research team wins award

A team at Cardiff University’s school of pharmacy has won an award for its evaluation of whether community pharmacies can provide an adequate service for a bilingual society.

Dai John, Arwyn Jones and Louise Hughes were presented with £2,000 by deputy health minister John Griffiths at the 2005 Welsh Assembly Government and NHS Wales Welsh language in health care awards last week. The team took first prize in the “Welsh language in health care in education” category.

The researchers interviewed members of the public in west and north Wales about their use of community pharmacy services and their experiences of the services delivered in Welsh, English or both languages.
