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. |
