‘We're the Eyes and Ears… out There’
INTRODUCTION: Polypharmacy is often managed at home by older people and those involved in their day-to-day care. Home care workers are well placed to play a crucial role, but there is little research in this setting. This study aimed to explore experiences and perceptions of polypharmacy amongst providers of home care. METHODS: We conducted qualitative interviews with 15 home care staff from five for-profit home care providers in three regions of…
Unequal high streets? A spatial analysis of inequalities in health-related amenities in England from 2014-2024
There are persistent inequalities in health-related behaviours in England which are stratified by region and deprivation. These are influenced by the interaction of people with places they live in, over and above individual risk factors. The amenities available on high streets is one such aspect of place but to date, its role in shaping health behaviours has been under examined. Our study presents a novel analysis into health-related amenities an…
No Time for Waste! Co‐Producing Practice Guidelines and Research Recommendations to Promote Earlier Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer in Community Pharmacies
INTRODUCTION: In the United Kingdom, community pharmacists (CPs) are increasingly being used to provide supplemental care for patients with specific conditions while the NHS is under pressure from declining GP numbers alongside a rising demand for services. CPs are ideally placed to contribute to early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) through extended services, especially amongst deprived areas where access is higher across all deprivation de…
Covid-19 and regional inequalities in childhood vaccination uptake in England
The results highlight the need for national vaccination uptake analyses to consider regional variation, as similarly deprived local authorities do not necessarily exhibit the same COVID-19-associated effects
‘Creating a culturally competent pharmacy profession’
INTRODUCTION: Cultural competence is an important attribute underpinning interactions between healthcare professionals, such as pharmacists, and patients from ethnic minority communities. Health- and medicines-related inequalities affecting people from underrepresented ethnic groups, such as poorer access to healthcare services and poorer overall treatment outcomes in comparison to their White counterparts, have been widely discussed in the liter…
Is the early identification and referral of suspected head and neck cancers by community pharmacists feasible? A qualitative interview study exploring the views of patients in North East England
INTRODUCTION: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the eighth most common cancer in the United Kingdom. Survival rates improve when the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, highlighting a key need to identify at-risk patients. This study aimed to explore opportunistic HNC identification and referral by community pharmacists (CPs) using a symptom-based risk assessment calculator, from the perspective of patients with a diagnosis of HNC. METHODS: Purpos…
Trends in transdermal fentanyl utilisation and fatal fentanyl overdose across Australia (2003–2015)
‘He or she maybe doesn't know there is such a thing as a review’
INTRODUCTION: Regular reviews of medications, including prescription reviews and adherence reviews, are vital to support pharmacological effectiveness and optimize health outcomes for patients. Despite being more likely to report a long-term illness that requires medication when compared to their white counterparts, individuals from ethnic minority communities are less likely to engage with regular medication reviews, with inequalities negatively…
Recommendations for community pharmacy to improve access to medication advice for people from ethnic minority communities
INTRODUCTION: Medicines-centred consultations are vital to support medicine effectiveness and optimize health outcomes for patients. However, inequalities negatively impact ethnic minority populations when accessing medicines advice. It is important to identify opportunities to improve access for these communities however, knowledge of how best to achieve this is lacking; this study will generate recommendations to improve access to medicines adv…
A qualitative exploration of the barriers and facilitators affecting ethnic minority patient groups when accessing medicine review services
INTRODUCTION: Healthcare inequalities and ethnicity are closely related. Evidence has demonstrated that patients from ethnic minority groups are more likely to report a long-term illness than their white counterparts; yet, in some cases, minority groups have reported poorer adherence to prescribed medicines and may be less likely to access medicine services. Knowledge of the barriers and facilitators that impact ethnic minority access to medicine…
Socioeconomic Inequalities and Vaccine Uptake
The effectiveness of immunization is widely accepted: it can successfully improve health outcomes by reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with vaccine-preventable diseases. In the era of pandemics, there is a pressing need to identify and understand the factors associated with vaccine uptake amongst different socioeconomic groups. The knowledge generated from research in this area can be used to inform effective interventions aimed at …
An examination of trends in antibiotic prescribing in primary care and the association with area-level deprivation in England
Although antibiotic prescribing has reduced over time, there remains significant variation in by area-level deprivation and region in England - with higher antibiotic prescribing in more deprived areas. Future prescribing targets should account for local factors to ensure the most deprived communities are not inappropriately penalised
