Partnership working

Our approach

A partnership with The Pharmaceutical Journal enables the creation of freely available, high-quality, editorially independent learning materials, and thought leadership that supports the safe and effective use of medicines through the promotion of evidence-based best practice for improved patient care.

Partner branding is prominently displayed alongside relevant sponsor disclosures and declarations.

Our approach is fully compliant with ABPI and PAGB codes of practice.

Available options and formats

Single articles and multimedia

Editorially independent, standalone expert–authored articles promoting evidence-based best practice.

Content is commissioned by The Pharmaceutical Journal with the editorial scope and design agreed with partner. The Pharmaceutical Journal retains sole editorial responsibility, and the partner is clearly declared as the sponsor – providing support for free open-access. On publication, content is promoted across all our digital channels.

Example outputs include:

• CPD and learning materials;
• Interactive infographics and guides;
• Multimedia, including podcasts, videos and webinars

Surveys of our membership 

We can work with partners to co-design and develop a survey that will provide detailed insights into the understanding of pharmacist members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and current pharmacy practice across Great Britain.

What we do:

• Work with independent experts alongside our partners to guide survey development;
• Conduct survey within target audience of RPS members;
• Analyse results and metrics, and provide report to partner that provides recommendations and identify content and topic journalism to address any learning needs and requirements, alongside the raw data.

In-person or virtual roundtables

A virtual panel of experts convened to discuss or deliver a presentation that promotes shared objectives around the safe and effective use of medicines and places pharmacy at the forefront of healthcare. 

The Pharmaceutical Journal will identify and invite experts, facilitate introductions where needed, chair and report.

Following the event a report or recording published online and promoted across our digital channels.

Want to utilise our editorial, design and production capabilities to produce content, but need to retain creative control?

In addition to our editorially independent content options, we can also provide you with a full-service model to create the content that you want wholly within your control through our PJ Content Studio brand.

We will work closely with you to understand your aims and objectives, and then convert those into bespoke high-quality multimedia products. Depending on the nature of the media, we will then be able to utilise our multi-channel marketing capabilities to ensure that your messages are heard by pharmacists across the UK.
