Welcome This edition includes a number of special features as well as the regular news, people and research stories. The Higher Education Bill has featured prominently in the media recently, and News & Views talked to the University's Vice-Chancellor Professor Chris Taylor to get his view. Health Minister Rosie Winterton, President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain Dr Gill Hawksworth, Dean of the University's School of Health Studies Gwendolen Bradshaw and the University's Vice-Chancellor Professor Chris Taylor congratulated nine of the first 27 pharmacists in the UK to become Supplementary Prescribers recently. The University's growth plans are set to continue after being awarded over £31 million from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), whilst we also have details of the University's new-look equality and diversity website, featuring a report monitoring equal opportunities in employment. The University's commitment to the local community and the region is featured in this edition with the launch of new initiatives. These include the Department of Peace Studies' International Centre for Participation Studies, launched at a recent Community Cohesion conference, and a project to improve the quality of life of people in the Horton Grange area of Bradford. Meanwhile, a new unit to identify ways of reducing tensions around weapons of mass destruction in South Asia has also been launched in the Department of Peace Studies. This edition also covers news of three 3-year research projects which have been completed - a study to find out how errors occur in the process of delivering drugs to NHS hospital patients, research to produce a guide for carers of dementia sufferers, and a study into the future of Sustainable Livelihood Approaches. News & Views is always on the lookout for more research and other stories from departments. Contact Emma Scales on e.scales@bradford.ac.uk or call (23)3089.
