Prof C Anderson, Dr M Boyd No more applications being accepted Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

About the Project

An opportunity exists to undertake a PhD which is being jointly funded by the University of Nottingham and Boots UK.

With an ageing population, and increased number of multiple long term conditions, patients’ needs and expectations are changing. The NHS is embracing new technology to help support the increase in demand (which includes how people access advice and services, management of prescriptions, and sharing of records to facilitate person centred care). This PhD will evaluate the different ways that patients get advice about their medicines (face to face, digital portal, combination), specifically focusing on how patients interact with pharmacists now and in the future, and their changing behaviour towards medication access, self-care and advice. The student will be expected to conduct both qualitative and quantitative analysis, including some health economic analysis around the benefits to patients and the NHS of the different modes of access.

The PhD starts in autumn 2017, and will be supervised by Professor Claire Anderson, Professor Tracey Thornley and Dr Matthew Boyd.

Interested applicants should apply via the application form available at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/pgstudy/how-to-apply/apply-online.aspx
