Special Issue Call for Submissions

The Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research (JPPR) is inviting submissions for a 2025 Innovations in Medication Safety special issue, focusing on the theme of innovative models of pharmacy practice that enhance medication safety and patient care through expanded pharmacist roles.

We welcome original research, systematic and scoping reviews, quality improvement initiatives, and implementation studies that design, evaluate, or demonstrate the impact of extended scope roles for hospital pharmacists. Submissions from early career researchers are encouraged.

Topics may include: pharmacists working as informaticians and within digital hospital roles to optimise medication safety; pharmacist-led transitions of care; advanced clinical services (e.g. stewardship roles); collaborative models with multidisciplinary teams (e.g. pharmacists prescribing/charting of medicines); innovation in pharmacy technician roles; and other novel approaches to medication management.

Submissions that highlight measurable improvements in patient outcomes, interdisciplinary collaboration, or system-level change are strongly encouraged.

Join us in advancing the role of hospital pharmacists in improving medication safety — submit your work today.

Detailed author guidelines and instructions to submit available here.

Submission deadline: 1 May 2025

Please contact AdPha Journal Lead Kristy Parker for more information.
