Prescribing Research Takes Priority at First DataBank Europe

First DataBankFirst DataBank Europe announced sponsorship of the Prescribing and Prescriptions Management seminar to be held at independent research charity The King's Fund's premises in London on 23 March as part of the Inquiry into the Quality of General Practice.

Launched in April 2009, the 18 month inquiry aims to collect and examine evidence on the quality of care and services provided by GPs and other health professions working in general practice in the UK.

In addition to formal research, on-line forums and conferences, a series of nine expert seminars are being held featuring 30-40 specially invited practitioners and related professionals. The seminars offer participants an opportunity to provide their views and interrogate the research undertaken to date.

The whole inquiry is very much focusing on the quality of care provision from the perspective of the patient and is targeted at improving professional practice to achieve good quality care.

Managing Director of First DataBank Europe, Darren Nichols, comments: "First DataBank Europe has been providing prescribing support to GPs for over 30 years. As part of our continual improvement programme, we are keen to be part of this debate examining prescribing in general practice."
