Dr Laura Sahm received a B.Sc. Pharm(Hons) from University of Brighton and won a scholarship from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) to pursue her postgraduate studies in the Grade 5A* Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, University of Bath.
Dr Sahm obtained her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics (Site-specific drug delivery of methotrexate to melanoma)in 1995. She moved to Germany in 1996 where she worked in community pharmacy, and for the pharmaceutical industry (Takeda GmbH).
In 2003 upon return from Germany Laura worked as a senior clinical pharmacist in the Bon Secours Hospital, Cork before joining the School of Pharmacy (SOP) staff in UCC in October of 2005. Her position up until 2015 was as a joint appointment between the SOP and the Mercy University Hospital (MUH) where she worked as a Consultant research pharmacist on research projects between UCC and the MUH.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) found that one in four adults surveyed in Ireland in 1994 did not display the literacy skills and confidence needed to take part effectively in society.Furthermore, research predominantly in the United States has shown that people with inadequate literacy find health-related documents such as appointment cards, consent forms and prescriptions difficult to read and understand. Health literacy is defined as "the degree to which individuals can obtain, process and understand the basic health information and services they need to make appropriate health decisions." Specifically we are currently examining how pharmacist-led health literacy and therapeutic lifestyle and pharmaceutical care interventions, in primary care, can improve the clinical outcome of patients with cardiovascular risk.Health literacy and patients' information on medication is an area of research that I am closely involved in.
Medication Adherence:
Pharmacists are the most easily-accessed member of the healthcare profession. Their pharmaceutical training and knowledge optimally positions them to be at the interface between the patient and their medicine. Although much of a pharmacist's time is spent dispensing medicines, pharmacists are frequently consulted by patients, parents, and caregivers for advice about medications. One of the challenges facing healthcare professionals in the treatment of patients is lack of adherence to prescribed therapy. An estimated 20-50% of patients with chronic conditions do not adhere to their medications as directed. A number of strategies for improving adherence have been recognised and increasingly, pharmacists are highlighted as playing a key role in patient adherence to medication. Improvement in medication adherence, based upon pharmacist involvement has been well documented and my research seeks to further underpin the role of the pharmacist in optimising medication adherence for the greater good of the patient.The research in my group is focused on the ways in which pharmacists can improve and optimise patients' adherence to medication.
Vaccine health
Vaccinations and their acceptance by adults and adolescents is a new theme that we are working on, specifically with respect to HPV vaccinations. This is informed by new research that shows the vaccine hesitancy of some parents. We are trying to understand the concepts which underlie these beliefs and propose novel solutions which are evidence-based and theoretically informed, whilst also taking into the account the views of key stakeholders.
Students and faculty regard collaborative learning environments as useful to the development of interpersonal and team working skills.

Teaching Activities
Teaching Interests
Currently involved in Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Learning (IPL) initiative with School of Medicine. We will identify the readiness of these students for IPL using a validated tool (Parsell & Bligh, 1999). There is no formal Interprofessional Curriculum yet between the schools of Medicine and Pharmacy at UCC. Knowledge of the readiness of certain groups for this type of learning will help plan a future IPL Curriculum at UCC. Case-based learning (CBL) can foster collaborative learning goals and is a useful approach for IPE .Each student will get the opportunity to present the case from either a medical or a pharmaceutical perspective and to clearly identify the potential for error. It is hoped that through correct identification and rectification of problems associated with prescription writing that patient safety would be positively influenced. Additionally this will provide the perfect opportunity to overcome interprofessional barriers throughout the course of a lifelong learning experience. Collaborative learning research suggests that interaction factors strongly influence students intrinsic interest, learning and group effectiveness.Students and faculty regard collaborative learning environments as useful to the development of interpersonal and team working skills.
