• Introduction: a maximum of three sentences stating the study background, which should include the hypothesis/objectives

• Conclusions: a statement of conclusions reached, their relevance to practice, and their significance.

Further requirements for the body of the text are:

• A maximum of 2 images of tables/graphs can be uploaded and will not be considered as part of the word count. We will not consider uploads that exceed the number of tables and graphs allowed.

• Use numbers to indicate values (2 instead of “two”)

• Standard abbreviations may only be used after the full term has been included followed by the abbreviation in brackets.

• Use generic drug names.

• Do not identify authors or institutions in the text.
