ABSTRACT Pharmacovigilance refers to the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. During the pharmacovigilance activities undertaken by us, a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis provided us with a setting for discussing various aspects of pharmacovigilance—the process itself, important signal generators that it may yield for practice, research and policy-related matters.

In the final chapter, the authors provide a full overview of the 30 main findings, or take-home messages, from this book. For each finding, the authors present an explanation as well as the implications related to practice, research, and policy. The findings are associated with the main points extracted from each chapter, particularly those that are empirically based and well grounded in the professional research and in professional practice standards. The authors end the chapter and, therefore, this book, with a call for a stepwise, multifaceted approach to addressing firearm-related problems, rooted in non-partisan and multidisciplinary ideals and facilitated by a collaboration between practitioners, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and members of firearm-related subgroups.

The 13 million nurses worldwide constitute most of the global healthcare workforce and are uniquely positioned to engage with others to address disparities in healthcare to achieve the goal of better health for all. A new vision for nurses involves active participation and collaboration with international colleagues across research practice and policy domains. Nursing can embrace new concepts and a new approach—“One World, One Health”—to animate nursing engagement in global health, as it is uniquely positioned to participate in novel ways to improve healthcare for the well-being of the global community. This opinion paper takes a historical and reflective approach to inform and inspire nurses to engage in global health practice, research, and policy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It can be argued that a colonial perspective currently informs scholarship pertaining to nursing global health engagement. The notion of unidirectional relationships where those with resources support training of those less fortunate has dominated the framing of nursing involvement in low- and middle-income countries. This paper suggests moving beyond this conceptualization to a more collaborative and equitable approach that positions nurses as cocreators and brokers of knowledge. We propose two concepts, reverse innovation and two-way learning, to guide global partnerships where nurses are active participants.
