Pharmacy Practice Research 2010

It is with great pleasure that I introduce this supplemental issue of the International Journal of Pharmacy Practice. In this supplement you will find abstracts of the pharmacy practice research papers and posters presented at the 2010 Royal Pharmaceutical Society Conference, held at Imperial College in London from 5 to 6 September. The theme of this year's conference is Supporting patient and professional decision making and this year's sessions offered a broad range of topics from involving patients in decisions about their treatment to supporting professional decision making in today's potentially stressful workplace. In common with previous years, this supplement has been prepared in advance of the conference, to allow participants in the practice research sessions to read the abstracts prior to the sessions. This is why you will find on prelim pages v–ix the programme for the practice research sessions, even though IJPP subscribers may not receive the supplement until after the conference.
