Equity and Dissemination

The review will explicitly report evidence gaps related to equity. Equality, diversity, and inclusion will be built into advisory group recruitment and into data extraction and synthesis. Planned outputs include a peer-reviewed publication, regional pharmacy presentations, professional and regulatory briefings, and accessible co-produced infographics. The review will examine how contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes differ across hospital types, ward specialties, and inpatient populations. The dissemination strategy aims to support active use of findings in practice, not only publication.
