Health equalities research in independent community pharmacies

APTUK are delighted to be working with Professor Mahendra Patel OBE on an innovative opportunity for pharmacy technicians to support a health equality study, working beyond traditional boundaries. This research will utilise pharmacy technicians and their skillsets as registered autonomous pharmacy professionals to support essential health inequalities work. This also provides pharmacy technicians the opportunity to gain experience of supporting research in a community pharmacy setting.

Please note: there is remuneration for both the individual pharmacy technicians and the pharmacies that sign up - details are included in the following document: Genes & Health (Queen Mary, University of London) Research 

This health equality research opportunity for pharmacy technicians is specific to those working in independent community pharmacies in the Banbury, Oxford City, Reading, Slough, High Wycombe and Aylesbury areas.
