Request for expressions of interest to be contacted and have your views included in this Doctural Student research study on different forms of collaboration between CP and GP
Please read the following request for help:
My name is Marianna Liaskou. I am a doctoral student at the University of Bath conducting research on different forms of collaboration between community pharmacists (CPs) and general practitioners (GPs). I am looking for CPs and GPs, who are currently part of collaborations that involve CPs and GPs and could spare 10-15 minutes to discuss this with me in order to understand better how CPs and GPs collaborate currently within primary care in England.
With pharmacists being increasingly integrated into primary care, evidence is needed to inform the optimal involvement of CPs working with GPs. The aim of my PhD is to identify collaborations involving CPs and GPs within England by exploring through case studies each model’s characteristics, drivers, purpose, impact on stakeholders involved and performance. These findings can contribute to daily practice in order to optimise the flow of primary patient care by utilising CPs’ existing place and attributes.
If you are part of such a collaborative working relationship (even if it includes other collaborators in addition to CPs and GPs) and would be happy to discuss this please email me, Marianna Liaskou, at ml510@bath.ac.uk. It would be great to hear from you. During our discussion, you will also be asked if you would like to voluntarily participate in the case-study stage, as your input is valued.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me for further information.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
