Curtin University has appointed pharmacy practice researcher and teacher Dr Lynne Emmerton as its new Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Practice.<\/p>\n

Dr Emmerton, whose 18 years of research in the safe and effective use of medicines in the community, joins Curtin\u2019s School of Pharmacy from the University of Queensland, where she was a Senior Lecturer for 10 years.<\/p>\n

She is highly regarded in the academic and professional pharmacy arenas with a notable profile in the Australasian Pharmaceutical Science Association, having led and participated in their annual conferences for over two decades.<\/p>\n

Dr Emmerton said that Curtin University offered a number of appealing elements that attracted her to the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurtin University has an impressive reputation and a proud history of working closely with the profession and for initiating research that makes a difference both in the west and nationally,\u201d Dr Emmerton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be great to teach pharmacy students in the new $25 million state-of-the-art facilities as of next year, where I can focus on inspiring pharmacy students to become effective communicators, and professional, ethical, knowledgeable healthcare providers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Emmerton said she has relatively broad interests in Pharmacy Practice, and productive interstate and multi-professional collaborations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m aiming to develop a strong Pharmacy Practice research profile here at Curtin and a number of my ongoing projects will lend themselves to follow-on research based at Curtin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funders for her leading collaborative research include Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare in the UK, the Pharmacists Board of Queensland and the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.<\/p>\n
