Predictors of effective therapeutic relationships between pharmacists and patients with type 2 diabetes: Comparison between Arabic-speaking and Caucasian English-speaking patients
The benefits of pharmacist-led interventions in achieving desired patient outcomes have been well established. Effective patient –pharmacist relationships are required to provide high-quality pharmacy care. Limited information is available about how Arabic-speaking migrants with diabetes, in Australia, perceive patient-pharmacist relationship and how these perspectives differ from the mainstream society (represented by Cauc asian English-speaking people).

Exploring pharmacist experiences of delivering individualised prescribing error feedback in an acute hospital setting
Prescribing errors are a prevalent and prominent cause of patient safety incidents.1 Where prescribing errors occur, patients can be harmed or killed with patient harm reported to occur in 1 –2% of cases2 whilst the cost of avoidable harm is considerable. One report suggests that the cost of avoidable medication errors to the National Health Service (NHS) is £750 million per year.3 (Source: Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy)

Application of process mapping to understand integration of high risk medicine care bundles within community pharmacy practice
The Scottish Patient Safety Programme – Pharmacy in Primary Care collaborative is a quality improvement initiative adopting the Institute of Healthcare Improvement Breakthrough Series collaborative approach. The programme developed and piloted High Risk Medicine (HRM) Care Bundles (CB), focused on warfarin and non-steroidal anti-infla mmatories (NSAIDs), within 27 community pharmacies over 4 NHS Regions. Each CB involves clinical assessment and patient education, although the CB content varies between regions. (Source: Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy)

Comparing the accuracy of medication order verification between pharmacists and a tech check tech model: A prospective randomised observational study
Medication errors have the potential to cause significant harm and the final verification of dispensed medications is essential to patient safety. There is international evidence to demonstrate that trained pharmacy technicians can safely and accurately undertake the verification of medication orders in ward-based unit dose containers. There is a need for evaluation of pharmacy technician verification of medication orders in broader contexts including the hospital inpatient dispensary.

Identifying perceptions of academic reform in pharmacy using a four-frame organizational change model
In an ever-changing environment, pharmacy education is in the race to catch up and excel to produce competent pharmacists. Examining academic institutions, including schools of pharmacy, their internal systems and framework, it seems appropriate to view these institutions using multiple lenses. Bolman and Deal conceptualized a method to examine organizations using four constructs (structural, human resource, political, and symbolic). The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), with deep-rooted pharmacy education and practice was the setting for this research. (Source: Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy)
