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.

Letters to the editor
Hospital Pharmacist welcomes letters from readers in response to any material published, and on other relevant matters of interest to hospital pharmacists.

Letters can be posted, faxed, or e-mailed to hospital.pharmacist@pharmj.org.uk and should not normally be of more than 400 words. Hospital Pharmacist reserves the right to abridge them. Pharmacist correspondents should supply their membership numbers. A contact telephone number should always be supplied.

The use of pseudonyms will be permitted at the discretion of the editor but only in exceptional circumstances.

Letters are considered for publication on the understanding that they have not also been submitted elsewhere. Where letters are critical of individuals, organisations or companies, details of the criticisms may be sent to the person or body concerned so that their response may appear in the same issue as the letter. In such cases, authors’ identities will not normally be disclosed.
