Overview

Research in pharmacy practice and medicines use is an important component of many postgraduate and undergraduate pharmacy programmes. It is seen as invaluable in informing professional practice and service development. This clear and concise handbook considers the stages of the research process in logical order, from planning of the project through to dissemination of the findings. Divided into three comprehensive sections, contents include: preparation, planning and management; scientific enquiry and research methodology; writing up and dissemination of the findings. This second edition of Conducting Your Pharmacy Practice Research Project has been restructured to aid its navigation and comprehensively revised and expanded in recognition of the increased diversity of projects undertaken by students. This systematic guide will be of use to undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy students and their supervisors. It will also appeal to researchers unfamiliar with health services research methods and to practising pharmacists new to conducting a research project.

This textbook...is a useful and concise resource for first time researchers in any practice setting...One of the strengths of this text is that it specifically devotes a section to Writing up and Dissemination of the Findings , as an integral component of the research process...For those working in hospital pharmacy this section is especially useful as it emphasises the need to communicate research findings in order to effect change in the local setting, and how this might be done...Overall, this text is best read in its entirety (a fairly easy read!) as an introduction to research, and would be useful to anyone commencing a research project, not just research students and their supervisors. The text should be part of any hospital pharmacy's library of resources, and a prerequisite text for those taking on roles involving research activities at any level Dr Beata V.
