Information on submitting a Research Reflection manuscript to Pharmacy GRIT.
In Spring 2021, members explore how pharmacists, as natural 'systems thinkers', are uniquely positioned to drive change in the health care system. This issue discusses how, long accustomed to doing the most with the least in busy and cost-constrained environments, hospital pharmacists are used to navigating complex processes and hierarchies to achieve what they need for their patients.
After Medication Safety was declared Australia’s next National Health Priority Area by Health Minister Greg Hunt, Pharmacy GRIT explores the impact of maintaining balance in pharmacy practice and patient care. Every day hospital pharmacists walk a tightrope – judging the potential risks and rewards of intervention – and articles examined harm from antimicrobials, pregabalin and opioids, policy perspectives on the complexity of medicines, and a mother’s journey from a tragic medication error to becoming an international safety advocate.
Where else to begin but the power of research? The first issue of GRIT provided building block-style tips for how engaging in research, networking and forming mentor relationships can transform and solve your practice challenges. An instructional paper on writing a research paper and getting it published was the first of many member-to-member pieces that have made Pharmacy GRIT such a practical, must-read publication.
