Students at the RPS conference, 2014
Four MPharm projects, supervised by Dr Li-Chia Chen, made the poster presentations at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society conference, 2014. Two of the posters received 'Highly commended' awards. Kimberley Sonnex, our Research Practitioner, co-supervised one of the winning projects.
The posters were all about MPharm projects which were completed in March 2014. Details of the two winning publications are shown below:
Gurpreet Randhawa, Li-Chia Chen, Roger Knaggs, Tim Hill. A clinical audit on the adherence to vancomycin dosing guidelines in a hospital setting. Poster Presentation. Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Annual Conference 2014, 7 September 2014, Birmingham International Conference Centre, Birmingham, UK. [Highly commended poster award]
Kimberley Sonnex, Hanna Alleemudder, Li-Chia Chen, Roger Knaggs. The impacts of smoking on the effectiveness of inhaled corticosteroids for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Poster Presentation. Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Annual Conference 2014, 7 September 2014, Birmingham International Conference Centre, Birmingham, UK. [Highly commended poster award]
Gurpreet says: "The RPS 2014 conference for me was a great opportunity to be exposed to the leaders in the pharmacy profession, from which, I've learnt so much about current events in pharmacy in a light that I would not have seen if I had simply read about them. I will be going next year and I highly recommend attending the conference to other pharmacy students if they wish to have a greater understanding of the pharmacy profession."
Dr. Matthew Boyd said 'This is an excellent achievement for an undergraduate project."
