Students attend UK conference

Three Pharmacy students recently presented research papers on clinical pharmacy at the annual conference of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society held in Birmingham, the UK, and their research study results were published in a supplement of the International Journal of Pharmacy Practice.

Adrian Agius worked on a study looking at the implementation of faecal occult blood point-of-care testing in community pharmacies for the detection of colorectal cancer. Marie Claire Aquilina’s dissertation looked at a pharmacist’s intervention in a heart failure clinic, while Anne Marie Mercieca looked at the quality of life in hypertensive dialysis patients.

The dissertations were carried out under the supervision of Lilian Azzopardi.
