Acceptance Speech - The British Psychological Society - William Inman Prize 2010
Jenny Lacey - BSc (Hons) Psychology
It is a huge honour to accept the William Inman Prize 2010 for the publication, 'Barriers to adherence with glaucoma medications: a qualitative study', that was conducted alongside Heidi Cate, Glaucoma Research Unit Manager and David Broadway, Consultant Ophthalmologist and Founder and Director of the Norwich Glaucoma Research Unit and Charity Fund.
I would like acceptance of the prize to reflect the positive contribution that psychology can have within a discipline, such as Ophthalmology, which is almost entirely researched from a medical model. I very much hope this award would encourage other researchers to continue to examine physical conditions using a psychological approach to gain a more holistic understanding of medical conditions and to further understand the impact of illnesses on people's experiences and well-being. This psychological perspective has seemed to be well received in Ophthalmology, with dissemination of these findings receiving significant positive interest following a talk at the World Ophthalmology Conference in June last year. I feel confident that this approach would continue to be useful in Ophthalmology, as well as in many other areas where the application of a psychological approach to research is not immediately obvious.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both David Broadway and Heidi Cate of the Norwich Glaucoma Research Unit for funding the project, but more importantly, for their contributions and support with this project; Heidi, for assistance with recruitment, conducting of focus groups and checking of data; David, for his expertise on the glaucoma population; and both, for their assistance in editing a large qualitative study, ready for publication. The whole project was a joint venture requiring knowledge of both psychological research methods and knowledge about glaucoma. I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside both Heidi and David throughout the whole process.
I would also like to thank Tom Eke, Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Cromer and District Hospital, Norfolk, in helping to identify suitable participants and all of the staff at both the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Cromer and District Hospital for facilitating with recruitment from their busy clinics. Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to thank all of the participants for their time and input into the study, without whom, none of this would have been possible.
Work at the Norwich Glaucoma Research Unit is growing. I am pleased to say that the follow up study, the Norwich Adherence to Glaucoma Medication Study (NAGS) which is investigating the potential benefits and cost effectiveness of a person centred educational intervention (based on motivational interviewing) in helping improve adherence, which is running in collaboration with the University of East Anglia and funded by the National Institute for Health Research (Research for Patient Benefit Scheme), has successfully recruited 208 participants, and is now in the follow up stage. I feel this work demonstrates what an effective and important Unit the Norwich Glaucoma Research Unit is and somewhere I am very proud to be associated. As both an ophthalmic surgeon and psychoanalyst I hope Dr William Inman would feel both the Norwich Glaucoma Research Unit and Charity Fund and I, a future trainee Clinical Psychologist, are worthy recipients of books and equipment, to continue to develop high quality research and clinical skills which may benefit other people in the future.
Thank you. |
