Strengths and limitations of this study
RECRUITMENT
The study draws on data from a relevant sample of 38 health and social care professionals involved in medicine management in care homes.The analytical approach foregrounded the effect of pharmacist-led medication review on the older resident in care homes, therefore having relevance to practices supporting safer medicines in this group of people.A limitation is the absence of residents’ voices, due to recruitment challenges with this group.The study provides insights into activity provided by specialist pharmacists with independent prescribing qualifications so it cannot be assumed that more generalist pharmacists would have the experience to make specialised medicine management decisions.
