In the concluding session, Matthew encouraged each of us to share a specific step that we could take to move our own research journey forward. The results were anonymous on the screen, but if anyone wants to share theirs here, it would be great to know what people took from the day.

The day was expertly chaired by Matthew Jones and would not have been possible without the financial support and encouragement from the @nihr.bsky.social South West Central Research Delivery Network and @england.nhs.uk

#NHS policies to improve care for people taking multiple medicines may not be effective, finds new @exeter.ac.uk @capcbristol.bsky.social research.

The IMPPP Trial found that a structured, patient-centred medication review did not reduce potentially inappropriate prescribing.

Well, that's a wrap on the #SWPRN25 Innovation Day - thank you to all the organisers and especially to Matthew Jones who masterminded the whole thing.

At the end of the day we were all challenged to make one commitment to keep the momentum going - anybody want to share theirs? #PharmacyResearch

Key messages from the other workshop on improving Quality Improvement:

"If you can't measure it, you can't control it"
"All improvements require change, but not all change is improvement"
"Bring people with you - break out of your pharmacy silo!"

Thanks to Ya-Hui Liang for feeding back. #SWPRN25

Another discussion starter! Golden envelopes and theoretical funding awards - we've been asked to think about how we could spend £20k to support pharmacy research capacity. How would we demonstrate impact? #SWPRN25

Lots of animated discussions in the room #SWPRN25
