General Introduction

EJHP Practice and Science

The European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy (EJHP), the official journal of the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP), has been published in English since 1995, publishing mainly scientific peer reviewed papers submitted by European hospital pharmacists, covering a range of clinical, scientific and practice topics.

From 2002 onwards, EJHP evolved to its current format with cover and feature stories, clinical updates, conference reports, country focus, technical and therapeutic developments and other editorial elements.

Following a decision taken in January 2004 by the Board of EAHP with the support of nine member countries, starting from 2005, EJHP is published in two editions - EJHP Practice and EJHP Science – which are distributed together.

EJHP is published six times per year (bi-monthly) and mailed to more than 17,000 European hospital pharmacists, subscribers and key opinion leaders in 28 European countries. Readership and authorship from non-European countries are also encouraged. The Journal adopted a new layout in 2006 to enhance reader’s interest and attention. EAHP membership is growing, and the journal enjoys the highest degree of market penetration.

EJHP is freely available online (www.ppme.eu). All published articles and our ‘Guidance for Authors’ can be downloaded in pdf format. EJHP offers a unique communication and continuing education medium for all European hospital pharmacists. Please refer to our website to see how we serve our community of hospital pharmacists.
