The interview with Jack Pringle (7/2, pp104–106) provides both an interesting account of how we got here and some useful pointers towards a more integrated future which, hopefully, the RIBA can be at the heart of. The background to this situation is, of course, more fully documented in previous issues of arq including my own paper (6/4, pp297–299).

Lifelong learning contributes to the development of knowledge and skill in nursing. A focus on continuous learning is necessary to remain current on trends, practices, and the newest treatments in the field of nursing. Creation of a culture where educational growth is supported and promoted is vital to advancement of the nursing profession. Nurses’ satisfaction with their professional role can be further enhanced by demonstrated expertise through lifelong learning. Expertise in nursing is solidly founded on evidence-based practice. Research, education, and experience in nursing practice are linked to evidence-based practice and lifelong learning; both are essential to remaining well versed in health care service delivery.

Pharmaceutical care necessitates significant efforts from patients, informal caregivers, the interprofessional team of health care professionals and health care system administrators. Collaboration, mutual respect and agreement amongst all stakeholders regarding responsibilities throughout the complex process of pharmaceutical care is needed before patients can take full advantage of modern medicine. Based on the literature and policy documents, in this position paper, we reflect on opportunities for integrated evidence-based pharmaceutical care to improve care quality and patient outcomes from a nursing perspective. Despite the consensus that interprofessional collaboration is essential, in clinical practice, research, education and policy-making challenges are often not addressed interprofessionally. This paper concludes with specific advises to move towards the implementation of more interprofessional, evidence-based pharmaceutical care.

Paolo Tombesi's investigation of Australia's Parliament House, Canberra (arq 7/2, pp140–154) shows how the ambitions of Public Sector clients are influenced by the political context. The review by John Sergeant of Weston's excellent biography of Utzon in the same issue (pp183–186), provides some insight into his tragedy and triumph at Sydney: the Opera House.

arq's interview with Jack Pringle (6/3, pp104–106) puts a strong case for why the profession needs to engage with education and research, if it is to sustain a robust body of knowledge relevant to its clients' continuously changing demands.

In case there was any doubt, the discussions in recent issues of arq, and from other coverage of the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), demonstrate that the role, status and purpose of research in the field of architecture at the beginning of the twenty-first century are problematic to say the least. The nature of architectural practice is at an equally problematic stage, with the profession appearing to many weak, disorganized and ill-equipped to stand up to external threats of various kinds. And although it is common to hear the view – which we subscribe to – that connections between academic research (and the schools more generally) and professional practice are poor and ought to be improved, it is not easy to work out whether this state of affairs is more a cause or a consequence of the difficulties on both sides.

The first International Integrative Nursing Symposium was held in May 2015 in Reykjavík, Iceland, to foster discourse about providing whole person/whole systems care that is relationship-based and person-centered. A discussant format was used to ensure that symposium participants could fully operationalize the principles of integrative nursing in practice, research, education, and policy development. Sessions varied widely to communicate the full spectrum of nursing scholarship with participants envisioning a future when all nursing care is integrative.
