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

supply their membership numbers. A contact telephone number should

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. |
