Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing collaborative working between GPs and community pharmacists has recently become a high priority for the NHS. Previous research suggests that interaction is limited and problematic between the two professions, forming a barrier to service provision. This PhD aimed to explore the level, nature and process of interaction between GPs and community pharmacists, using a social network analysis approach. The study focused on four geographically different case study areas and 90 GPs and community pharmacists participated in total. A two-stage design was adopted. Firstly data were collected through a network questionnaire and analysed using social network analysis. Secondly, qualitative interviews were conducted to provide narrative to the network findings and analysed using the framework approach. The nature of contact was characterised as mostly indirect through brokers, de-personalised and non-reciprocal and seemingly at odds with collaborative behaviour. A misalignment in responses pointed to asymmetry in the relationship, representing little commonality, knowing and understanding of each other. Through social network analysis, individuals and dyads in possession of strong ties were identified. Strong ties were not the norm and were characterised by more personalised forms of reciprocal contact. Qualitative interviews provided insight into the processes of interaction between the two professional groups. An approach to the interaction, which involved pharmacists tactically managing the potential conflict in the interaction through use of deferential and sometimes subservient behaviour, was conceptualised as the 'pharmacist-GP game'. Those pharmacists with strong ties to GPs also, at times, adopted aspects of this approach but also attempted to set themselves apart from other pharmacists in order to develop and maintain their strong ties with GPs. However, possession of strong ties did not always lead to capitalisation, and the benefits of possessing these were often viewed as efficiency and convenience gains rather than anything more wide-reaching. Often, more isolated GPs and pharmacists did not view strong ties as a necessity, with the benefits of these not considered rewarding enough for the time and effort required to achieve them. This effort-reward conflict was identified as an important constraint faced by GPs and pharmacists in relation to transforming these loose connections into more integrated networks. Other micro and macro level constraints were also identified and a series of accompanying recommendations made for future practice and research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROMOTING PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH This book forms part of a series entitled Promoting Partnership for Health publishedin association with the UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE). The series explores partnership for health from policy, practice and educational perspectives. Whilst strongly advocating the imperative driving collaboration in healthcare, it adopts a pragmatic approach. Far from accepting established ideas and approaches, the series alerts readers to the pitfalls and ways to avoid them. DESCRIPTION Interprofessional Teamwork for Health and Social Care is an invaluable guide for clinicians, academics, managers and policymakers who need to understand, implement and evaluate interprofessional teamwork. It will give them a fuller understanding of how teams function, of the issues relating to the evaluation of teamwork, and of approaches to creating and implementing interventions (e.g. team training, quality improvement initiatives) within health and social care settings. It will also raise awareness of the wide range of theories that can inform interprofessional teamwork. The book is divided into nine chapters. The first 'sets the scene' by outlining some common issues which underpin interprofessional teamwork, while the second discusses current teamwork developments around the globe. Chapter 3 explores a range of team concepts, and Chapter 4 offers a new framework for understanding interprofessional teamwork. The next three chapters discuss how a range of range of social science theories, interventions and evaluation approaches can be employed to advance this field. Chapter 8 presents a synthesis of research into teams the authors have undertaken in Canada, South Africa and the UK, while the final chapter draws together key threads and offers ideas for future of teamwork. The book also provides a range of resources for designing, implementing and evaluating interprofessional teamwork activities.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Engaging patients is essential to deliver quality care in healthcare settings. Despite that, studies have shown limited patient participation in pharmacy-based consultations. Routine collection of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) has shown promise in fostering patient engagement in medical encounters. No study yet has assessed the impact of PRO tools on pharmacy consultations. Objectives: This dissertation study aimed to investigate the usefulness of a digital PRO tool in supporting patient-pharmacist communication and to explore the dyad's experience with the tool. Methods: A multi-method randomized controlled design was used to explore the tool's impact on patient-pharmacist interaction compared to usual care in a rural city in Wisconsin. Findings: Sixty patients were randomized to either the intervention group who used the tool during medication pick-up or the control group who did not use the tool. Analysis of the taped patient-pharmacist encounters showed higher active patient participation in consultations among patients who used the tool compared to those who didn't. Also, pharmacists asked significantly more questions when counseling patients in the intervention group compared to the control group. After controlling for patients' demographics and pharmacists' questions, there was a statistical difference between the study groups in the odds of expressing at least one concern. Patients in the intervention group had an overall positive experience with the tool. They reported the tool was easy to use and useful to their consultations as it enhanced their skills in describing their problems, validated the appropriateness of reporting any concern, and satisfied their need for relational and informational needs. Interviews with pharmacists demonstrated that the utilization of the tool, in the way it was implemented, was feasible for most pharmacists and contributed to more meaningful conversations with patients. Pharmacists' interviews indicated that PRO-informed consultations were tailored to patients' needs and shifted the dialogue from the medications being picked up to patients' broader experience with medications. Conclusion: Incorporating PRO into pharmacy-based consultations has the potential to increase the depth and breadth of conversations and enhance patient engagement. To ensure successful and efficient integration of the tool into the workflow, the views of pharmacists need to be considered.
