Title:Provision of and access to consumer health information in England.

The project I have undertaken aims to provide information of how consumers of over the counter medicines in England use these types of drugs. It is intended to research the stakeholders decision making process when purchasing over the counter medicines, adverse effects and the quality of information available. The data will then underpin the building of an ontology of over the counter drugs.

Prior to undertaking this project I studied at the University of Salford. There I gained a BSc (hons) in TCM Acupuncture and an MSc in Health Informatics.
