PM Healthcare Journal

The PM Healthcare Journal is our quarterly publication that aims to help you thrive in a healthcare system that is undergoing fundamental challenge and change.

The Journal is where you can read about and share UK-wide examples of best practice, innovations, how you make things work, and initiatives that support colleagues and benefit patients.

Pharmacy focussed, but also inclusive of other professions, patients and carers, our objective is to provide a hub of opinions, experiences and clinical expertise that is of practical use to our readers.

Contributing to the PM Healthcare Journal

The PM Healthcare Journal welcomes contributions from pharmacists, doctors, nurses, other healthcare professionals, patients and carers. We have access to a large pool of experienced colleagues to ensure that everything published has been peer-reviewed. Constructive comment is provided to assist authors and advice can also be provided in advance regarding whether a topic would be suitable.

If you have an idea for an article that you think would be of interest to our readers, then please get in touch at [email protected]
