Pain and critical care awards presented at UKCPA meeting

Roger Knaggs, from Queen’s Medical Centre University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nottingham, received the 2005 Napp pain award at the United Kingdom Clinical Pharmacy Association symposium in Leeds last week. He won the award for his project “Prescribing and clinical outcomes after strong opioid recommendation for chronic non-cancer pain from a pain clinic”.

The Lilly UK critical care award went to Haley Wells, specialist renal pharmacist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, for her work on monitoring a high-cost drug in critical care units.

Also presenting at the symposium were Christine Oates, lead clinical pharmacist, Darlington Memorial Hospital, whose team won the Boehringer-Ingelheim respiratory award for a pharmacist-led asthma clinic, and Mark Tomlin, consultant critical care pharmacist, Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust, who won the GlaxoSmithKline advanced practitioner award for work on supplementary prescribing in intensive care.
