A professor from the University of Nottingham has been recognised for dedication and excellence in the field of Pharmacy with an award from Utrecht University.
Professor Claire Anderson received the Excellence in Pharmacy Practice award from the department of Pharmacy at Utrecht University. The award recognizes that Utrecht University would not be able to fulfil its successful leadership role in both the pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practice, without the encouragement, dedication and excellence of pharmaceutical scientists and practitioners all over the world.
Professor Anderson has been at the University of Nottingham for 24 years where her research focuses on improving patient and public health in the light of contemporary health care reforms through designing and evaluating pharmacy practice and health service models and exploring patient's experiences of using medicines.
Claire has made a significant national and international contribution to the development of evidence, including developing and evaluating new professional roles for pharmacists. She also has an international reputation in research on pharmacy education and workforce development. She was also elected president of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in 2021.
I was surprised and delighted to be nominated for this prestigious award. It means an awful lot to recognised by your peers from one of the leading university pharmacy departments in the world.
Claire was presented with a handmade, engraved, silver pill box at a ceremony at Utrecht University on 16th June where she delivered a lecture entitled ‘transforming the practice of pharmacy, focusing on pharmacy service development in the UK including prescribing.’
The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Utrecht University is responsible for innovative teaching in the fields of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences, and it carries out high-quality research, both in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, and in adjacent fields. The research themes chosen are often inspired by social questions, in particular those relating to healthcare. The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences pursues an active policy with regard to the protection and exploitation of knowledge, and also acts as a centre of knowledge for social organisations.
