From this year, Hospital Pharmacist will increase in frequency. Eleven issues will be published annually instead of the former 10. Hospital Pharmacist will continue to publish five Credit for Learning exercises per year, based upon special features. This year will also see the introduction of a regular section focusing on the work of pharmacy technicians.

Structured abstracts
Hospital Pharmacist welcomes original papers to be considered for publication. Contributors are asked to note that, in common with many other biomedical publications, Hospital Pharmacist requests that structured abstracts be submitted for original research papers. Advice to contributors can be found here

Papers reporting original research or describing developments in clinical, scientific, practice or technological fields will be peer-reviewed.
