Congratulations to the 2025 HPS Grant Winners!
Kingston Wai Chiu Mak Yeung is a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney, researching ways to improve transitions of care and medication safety. The HPS Research Grant will help support the “Evaluation of a Pharmacy Technician-Enhanced Transition of Care (PETOC) model to facilitate post-discharge Home Medicines Reviews for high-risk patients.
“It is such an honour to be a recipient of the FIP HPS Research Grant 2025, and I would like to thank the FIP Hospital Pharmacy Section for their support. This funding will support a project evaluating a new model of care aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing medication-related harms. This project represents an important step towards empowering pharmacy technicians to practice at the top of their scope, whilst also expanding the role of pharmacists in ensuring safer transitions of care.”
Katelyn Jauregui is from Australia and is a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney and a clinical pharmacist at Campbelltown Hospital. The HPS Research Grant will support her research exploring clinicians’ rationales for prescribing extended-release rather than immediate-release opioids for acute post- operative pain.
“I am honoured and incredibly grateful to receive the FIP HPSResearch Grant for 2025. This support will enable us to explore why clinicians continue to prescribe extended-release opioids for acute pain following surgery, despite guideline recommendations to avoid their use. The findings will empower hospital pharmacists to lead improvement in opioid prescribing, reduce medication-related harm, and strengthen evidence-based practice globally. My sincere thanks to the FIP Foundation and the Hospital Pharmacy Section for supporting this exciting work.
