Conference practice research medal
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society is inviting nominations or applications
for the 2006 British Pharmaceutical Conference practice research medal,
which will
be presented at BPC 2006 in September.
The award recognises individuals aged up to 45 who have made a significant contribution
to the field of pharmacy practice research and have the potential to become leaders
in their field.
The winner of the medal will receive a cheque for £1,000 and will deliver
a 30-minute lecture at BPC 2006, which takes place at the Manchester International
Convention Centre. 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.
Applicants do not necessarily have to be based in a school of pharmacy or to
be a registered pharmacist. Overseas applicants are welcome.
Anyone wishing to apply for the award, or to nominate a colleague, should forward:
an academic curriculum vitae, which includes details of significant grants awarded,
publications, professional and academic record including peer review experience;
a brief personal supporting statement of up to two sides of A4; and a 1,000-word
lecture outline, which should include the lecture title and the topics that will
be covered as well as a statement of how the research contributes to knowledge
and policy in relation to health care generally and pharmacy practice specifically.
Applications should be submitted to Lisa Gilbert, Science Programme Manager,
Royal Pharmaceutical Society, 1 Lambeth High Street, London SE1 7JN. The closing
date is 31 March and the successful applicant will be notified by May. The award
is sponsored by Chemist & Druggist magazine.
