“Developing a Community Pharmacy Location Model with Demand of Prescription Medicine from General Practices”
- This research plugs a gap in the scarcity of spatial interaction modelling approaches in the pharmaceutical sector
- Given the well-researched impact the location of pharmacies has on health, the work carries great importance
- Case study: Leeds
- A pharmacy location model is developed taking into account interaction between General Practices (GPs), community pharmacies and local population
- The model estimates the dispensed prescription medicine items (volume) per pharmacy
- Judges: This is an example adapting sophisticated techniques to estimate something previously untried. The work clearly has impact/usage implications and shows plenty of flair
