Table 6 Potential questions for future research
Questions | How can pharmacists (or other healthcare professionals) be integrated more efficiently into established care teams? How can multi-disciplinary collaboration be more effective? |
| Â | What other effective incentives may be viable to exploit in primary care (other than financial incentives)? |
| Â | How can audit and feedback techniques be refined to include feedback of the impact of the interventions? |
| Â | How can a more positive and close relationship between pharmacists and GPs be fostered? |
| Â | How can we design interventions that target all key players and a range of practice staff? |
| Â | Which intervention types are appropriate for which practices? Is effectiveness influenced by practice characteristics? |
| Â | How can macro issues be addressed, particularly communication issues with secondary care and nursing homes and polypharmacy? |
| Â | How exactly may the suggested community-based pharmacist model be implemented into routine care? To what extend can we allow for flexibility in this context? |
