"Research has had little influence on the development of pharmacy practice"
The final plenary session at the 2002 Health Services Research and Pharmacy Practice Conference at Leeds, England, took the form of a formal debate on the topic "Research has had little influence on the development of pharmacy practice." The proposers were two non-pharmacists, with considerable experience of health services research and pharmacy practice research, and the opposers were two leading pharmacists, one a hospital pharmacist and one an advocate for community pharmacy. We present here an edited version of the debate.
