Pharmacy Growth, Research, Innovation and Training (Pharmacy GRIT) is SHPA’s member voice, providing a online magazine-style platform for publishing pharmacy research as well as feature articles and instructional papers to assist and inspire members. Officially citable, from 2017 to 2021 Pharmacy GRIT appeared in quarterly printed and digital form, housing DrugScan (now MedsScan), Medication Safety and Case Reports, and complementing SHPA's flagship research journal the Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research (JPPR).
In 2022, GRIT moved wholly online. For members and by members, GRIT's content is now published and promoted via this website to promote greater collaboration and innovation, before moving to a new, dedicated digital home. Recent articles and previous issues are available below.
