Research Consultancy Service
The College of Mental Health Pharmacists is now extending its research
consultancy service to all UKPPG members.
Any member may now request help with all aspects of the research process:
design, grant application, ethics approval, writing-up and submission. The
College now has a number of research experts who will be happy to lend their
experience to UKPG members. The selected bibiliography below attests to their expertise.
The process of funding, designing and publishing research is often quite
complex, demanding and bewildering. We aim to make the process less traumatic
for UKPPG members. The service is provided with the aim of assisting budding or
seasoned researchers with specific research ideas or projects.
Requests can be formal or informal, by phone, in writing or in person. In
the first instance, contact David Taylor, Chief Pharmacist, South London and
Maudsley NHS Trust.
