Alan Grant-Taylor Memorial Scholarship: Community Pharmacy Practice

Implementing Pharmacogenomics into Community Pharmacy Practice to Personalise the Treatment of Depression

Principal advisor: Associate Professor Chris Freeman

Associate advisor/s: Doctor Adam La Caze


Developing and Implementing a Community Pharmacy Practice Based Research Network to Translate Evidence into Practice

Principal advisor: Associate Professor Chris Freeman

Associate advisor/s: Associate Professor Neil Cottrell


The ethics of pharmacogenomic testing in community pharmacy

Principal advisor: Doctor Adam La Caze

Associate advisor/s: Associate Professor Chris Freeman

Pharmacogenomic tests are becoming more important in primary care. This project will explore the ethics of pharmacogenomic testing in community pharmacy. The project will seek to provide guidance to pharmacists regarding their responsibilities when recommending, undertaking or providing advice in relation to pharmacogenomic tests.


Pharmacy ethics and the opioid crisis

Principal advisor: Doctor Adam La Caze

Associate advisor/s: To be determined

How should pharmacists respond to the opioid crisis? What are the responsibilities of pharmacists when dispensing, counselling or providing advice regarding opioids? This project seeks to provide guidance to pharmacists regarding their responsibilities for reducing opioid-related harm.


Medication information provision and services during pregnancy and breast feeding – exploring opportunities for Community Pharmacists

Principal advisor: Associate Professor Karen Whitfield

Associate advisor/s: To be determined

During pregnancy, women often weigh up the benefits of treatment against potential risks to their infant. Non-adherence to essential treatment is common and can adversely affect both mother and child. Community pharmacists are ideally placed to provide evidence based information to women about medications in pregnancy and breast feeding. However, training and education is required for community pharmacists to confidently provide these services. This research will explore the perceptions of community pharmacists about services that are currently provided to pregnant and breast feeding women, as well as potential services that could be provided. The study will also explore the perceptions of women about the services provided by community pharmacists to pregnant and breast feeding women and any services that they would like to be provided. Using this data education and training packages and/or tool kits will be developed and piloted to evaluate impact.
