Philip Rogers

Philip Rogers serves as Director of Pharmacy within the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Bath. His research focuses on the intersection of pharmacy practice and healthcare systems, with particular expertise in community pharmacy operations and primary care integration.

His research interests span Primary Care Computer Systems and Non-Prescription Medicines. Rogers investigates how NHS computer networks affect community pharmacy development, examining electronic prescribing systems, prescriber-pharmacy communication, and pharmacists' clinical intervention capabilities. His work on over-the-counter medicines analyzes community pharmacists' utilization of increasingly potent non-prescription treatments like sumatriptan for migraines and omeprazole for dyspepsia, with studies extending to evaluate outcomes of pharmacist-recommended treatments.

Rogers' publication portfolio reveals consistent focus on community pharmacy's evolving role in healthcare delivery. His recent work examines practice pharmacists' influence on prescribing behaviors, medication reviews after hospital discharge, and opioid substitution therapy safety. The research demonstrates strong connections between pharmacy practice, clinical audit methodologies, and general practice workflows, with applications spanning medication safety, patient counseling, and healthcare system integration.

Rogers has contributed to significant research projects including the 'Research Method and the Role of the Undergraduate Research Programme' (2010-2012) funded by Pharmacy Research UK.
