Abstract: | In‐depth interviews were employed to describe the views of pharmacists and nurses on community pharmacists' roles Findings highlighted that there is a gap in appreciating the current pharmacist's roles between the two professions Collaborative work with nurses would enable community pharmacists to identify drug‐related problems in nursing home patients Pharmacists need to develop marketing strategies that mutually reward nurses, patients and pharmacists themselves Local pharmaceutical services' pilots will give pharmacists a great opportunity to overcome potential barriers to a more active role for nursing home patients |
