Prescribing and Medication Optimisation

The group aims to bring together academics and clinicians working on prescribing and medication optimisation, including related education, to develop research ideas, promote collaboration, and support dissemination.

The next meeting of the SIG will be on the 11th November from 12.00 to 1.30 pm online. If you would like to join the SIG and/or attend the meeting, please email Ian (i.maidment@aston.ac.uk) or Rupert (r.a.payne@exeter.ac.uk).

We are also looking to diversify the leadership model for the SIG, and are looking for 2 to 3 ECRs to join a small working group to help with planning and engagement, and to help inform direction of travel. The commitment would be very light in terms of time commitment (at most an hourly online meeting each month, excluding holiday periods). We hope it will help interested individuals with networking and leadership experience, as well as provide an opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the work of the SIG and SAPC. Again, please contact Ian or Rupert if you're interested.

Specific objectives include:

  • Feedback on research ideas and initial stage proposals, including supporting early career researchers.
  • To promote effective collaboration across institutions and professions, and help identify potential collaborators
  • To support the dissemination of relevant research both within and outside the SIG.
