PM Healthcare Journal – Summer 2026
For our summer issue of the Journal, we have a strong focus on mental health and workforce issues affecting the pharmacy sector.
Our opening article, sponsored by Viatris, explores the potential benefits of providing a lipid testing service alongside blood pressure checks in community pharmacy.
Anthony Young examines the barriers to pharmacy playing a greater role in mental health care within an integrated care system and considers how these can be overcome.
Rebecca Gossage-Worrall et al. evaluate an NHS England pilot examining the feasibility and acceptability of delivering antidepressant medication support through community pharmacies in England as part of the NHS New Medicine Service.
In our workforce section, Farzana Mohammed considers the hidden barriers to inclusion that may exist within pharmacy foundation programmes, while Rachael Lemon concludes her series of articles by sharing insights into building trauma-informed teams across pharmacy.
As ever, our aim is to provide you with insights that translate into examples of best practice and real-world experience. If you have an idea for an article that you would like to share, we would be delighted to hear from you.
