David Preece, EPSA intern at the EAHP, answers your questions about the EAHP-EPSA Student Award, why students should submit research, and how the submission process works.
During the 18th Congress of the EAHP, 13-15 March 2013, to be held at the Palais de Congres, Paris, EAHP will announce an award to one (or several) European Pharmaceutical Student Association (EPSA) students, recognising and honouring the best research article authored by an undergraduate student.
If you are an undergraduate student who has been involved in interesting research, don't miss this golden opportunity to present your research at an international conference for Hospital Pharmacy, to be published in a peer-reviewed journal and potentially succeed in winning a prestigious award.
Undergraduates should take pride in the research activity they are involved in and not allow modesty to prevent them from seeking publication and recognition on a wider stage.
The purpose of EAHP's Student Award is to provide motivation and inspiration to the hospital pharmacists of the future to commence an early relationship with the research and publishing aspect of the hospital pharmacy profession, and to encourage individuals personal and professional development in this area.
Undergraduates can bring unique perspectives on practise issues as newcomers to the profession, offering a "fresh pair of eyes" to many familiar professional challenges.
The EAHP Student Award seeks to draw out that perspective, and bring it to a wider audience.
The Award is also designed to create opportunities for individuals to support their early career development and enable quality work they have conducted to be recognised.
Finally, the Award presents a chance for individuals to share their passion for particular aspects of hospital pharmacy with the profession.
The author of the winning article will receive free attendance to the 18th EAHP Congress in Paris and €500 for travel and accommodation expenses, as well as official recognition for their work at the EAHP Congress closing ceremony.
Any original research which you have been involved in can be submitted as long as it is relevant to hospital pharmacy and is primarily written by students.
If you have any questions about whether the work you are currently conducting, or have previously conducted, is eligible for submission for this Award, and how it should be presented, please get in touch with EAHP for assistance by emailing david.preece@eahp.eu.
In order to meet publication deadlines your article must be submitted by 9 January 2013.
The manuscript you submit must follow the EJHP Guidance for Authors in terms of format and style.
Following the submission of your research the European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy may recommend some sylistic or format changes but will be in contact with you directly about this.
All accepted research will then be published in a special Congress edition of the Journal, issued to every registered attendee of the Congress on their arrival.
Your research article should be submitted to jennie.degreef@eahp eu by the January deadline, and following the EJHP guidelines of format and style.
You are also asked to provide a short cover letter alongside your research article explaining why your work/research advances hospital pharmacy research and what aspects of the research you consider prize-worthy.
The EAHP-EPSA Award will be presented during the closing ceremony of the 18th Congress of the EAHP, in Paris, France on Friday, 15 March 2013.
I look forward to meeting you at the congress and good luck with your submissions!
