A presentation slide: grey background, top left is the logo for the University of Bristol, top right is the logo for the charity Pharmacy Research UK. The text in the centre of the slide reads: Sarah Jones, Phd student (part time) at Bristol Medical School Centre for Academic Primary Care. Efficacy of usual care to support safe antidepressant withdrawal in English GP practices. My project and the experience of applying to the PRUK scheme. sarah.c.jones@bristol.ac.uk
