Hannah's Mental Workload research
We are recruiting again! We need more community pharmacists (including locums) to take part in the second ,exciting phase of the research project into the mental workload involved in pharmacy tasks, and how this relates to pharmacist and patient related outcomes. Funds for locum cover and travel expenses to the study site are available to aid pharmacists’ participation. For even more information try out Hannah’s blog.
This project involves carrying out some routine pharmacy tasks and completing some questionnaires and will take approximately 2 hours altogether to complete.
