Carmel Hughes

Carmel M. Hughes is Professor of Primary Care Pharmacy at the School of Pharmacy, Queen's University of Belfast where she is a member of the Clinical and Practice Research Group. She is the first pharmacist to have been appointed to a Harkness Fellowship in Health Care Policy (1998-99).

She spent her fellowship year at the Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island where she researched the impact of policy on prescribing in US nursing homes. Carmel is the only pharmacist to have been awarded a National Primary Care Career Scientist Award. She received the British Pharmaceutical Conference 2001 Practice Research medal and is currently a Cochrane Fellow.

Carmel is a member of the International Advisory Editorial Board for the journal Pharmacy World and Science and is also an Editorial Board member of Current Drug Safety. Her primary research interests are long-term care for the elderly, rational prescribing, the interface between general practitioners and pharmacists, and evidence-based health care.

Current studies include three randomised controlled trials, two of which are being conducted in nursing homes. One of these latter studies is evaluating the impact of an infection control intervention on MRSA prevalence in nursing home residents and staff and the trial is being supported by an on-going Cochrane review which is synthesising evidence on the effectiveness of infection control measures in this health care setting. Other nursing home projects currently in progress are an evaluation of a pharmaceutical care intervention and an exploration of medication adherence issues in nursing home residents.

Future work will focus on the potential impact of organisational culture on prescribing in nursing homes.
