International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine
The International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine is concerned with rendering the practice of medicine as safe as it can be; that involves promoting the highest possible quality of care, but also examining how those risks, which are inevitable, can be contained and managed ideally considering how they can be used when applied to an international audience.
This is not exclusively a drugs journal. As indicated by the journal's subtitle, there is a focus on patient safety, pharmacovigilance and liability. The journal publishes high quality interdisciplinary papers related to patient safety, not ones for domain specialists. Basic research reports of clinical experience and overviews, new items and letters to the editor will be considered for publication. Please see the author guidelines for more information about the article types and requirements.
The journal in particular welcomes submissions about balancing the benefits AND risks of any treatment/management that should be considered by clinical practitioners and which can also aid understanding by patients when agreeing to their clinical care.
