About this position

This funded PhD project at Ulster University’s School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences will investigate how digitally enabled, patient-centred approaches can support safer deprescribing for older adults living with frailty in Northern Ireland.

The research will examine the intersections between health literacy, frailty and medication use. The doctoral researcher will co-design and pilot a digitally enabled intervention intended to support safer prescribing and deprescribing, with direct alignment to clinical pharmacy services in Northern Ireland.

The project uses a comprehensive mixed-methods programme involving a cross-sectional survey, clinical assessments, qualitative interviews, co-design activities and a feasibility randomised controlled trial. This combination will provide experience in digital health, mixed-methods research, geriatric pharmacotherapy, medicines optimisation and medication safety.

The successful candidate will join the interdisciplinary Global PharmEd Optimise Research (GPOR) Network environment at Ulster University. The work has potential to contribute to personalised care and safer medication use for older adults living with frailty.
