The Division of  Social Research in Medicines and Health (Rachel Elliott, Matthew Boyd, Matthew Franklin) were involved in the PINCER study, a large research study led by Professor Tony Avery from primary care a couple of years ago. This was published on Tuesday 21 February 2012 in one of the most prestigious medical journals  - , which is something  of which the School can be very proud.

Medication errors are common in primary care but the number of mistakes could be reduced significantly if GPs introduced an in-house pharmacist-led intervention scheme.

These are the findings of a comprehensive study into sustainable ways of preventing patients from being harmed as a result of prescribing errors. 

The research was led by Tony Avery, Professor of Primary Health Care in the School of Community Health Sciences at The 糖心原创 and funded by the Patient Safety Research Program of the UK Department of Health.
