Ray Fitzpatrick Annual Report 2004-2005

Ray Fitpatrick (Faculty Fellow) continued with a range of health service research projects into the management of various chronic diseases, collaborating with clinical colleagues in Oxford and elsewhere. He was appointed scientific chair of the National Prevention Research Initiative (NPRI). NPRI is a unique collaboration between twelve UK funding bodies including ESRC, MRC, Department of Health, Food Standards Agency, British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK, to develop and establish on a firmer footing, research to understand and change behaviours that may be risk factors for cancer, heart disease and diabetes. He was appointed a member of the Panel B of RAE 2008 and will chair the sub-panel: health services research, an interesting challenge as the subject has not previously had separate assessment. However far more challenging will be carrying out a contract that he and colleagues in Oxford and Institute of Psychiatry, London were awarded by Department of Health and Home Office to carry out an evaluation of services for the assessment and treatment of dangerous people with severe personality disorder!
