THE seventh edition of the peer-reviewed Australian Pharmacy Students' Journal (APSJ) is out now, with a focus on emerging sustainability initiatives in pharmacy practice.
The journal is an initiative of the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA) and supported by Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha).
AdPha President Tom Simpson said the theme of sustainability "resonates strongly with the ethos of AdPha", which earlier this year promoted the safe and sustainable use of medicines as part of its annual MedsAware: Deprescribing Action Week (PD 10 Mar).
"Sustainability must be embedded in every healthcare organisation, and the time to act is now," Simpson said.
"Pharmacists have a vital role to play in making sustainability a priority in procurement, prescribing and medicines assessment.
"What is most inspiring is the leadership already being shown by our student community through research and innovation."
The issue also features pieces on barriers to healthcare access faced by Indigenous Australians; a pharmacy student's guide to writing case reports; and a literature review discussing the role of mobile genetic elements in the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
APSJ is now accepting submissions for its eighth issue.
