The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2018 Royal Pharmaceutical SocietyObjectives: Although pharmacist-led medicines use reviews (MURs) are effective for medicines management, little is understood about patients’ experiences of alcohol-related advice delivered therein. Sampling a population at high risk for misuse (within an area of socio-economic deprivation), we explored patient experiences of alcohol-related MURs. Methods: Two focus groups were conducted with patients who had discussed alcohol in an MUR in the preceding 3 months (n = 9). Data were analysed thematically. Key findings and conclusion: Patients were open to discussing alcohol in the MUR context. The absence of practitioner-patient power asymmetry and pharmacists’ sensitivity to cultural contexts were critical to patient engagement.
