    DescriptionAuthors Hindi AMK, Schafheutle EI and Jacobs S were involved in the publication of a qualitative study recently with the following title:

    Community pharmacy integration within the primary care pathway for people with long-term conditions: a focus group study of patients’, pharmacists’ and GPs’ experiences and expectations.

    In this podcast, I ask one of the authors, Ali Hindi, a number of questions about what the study has told us about how community pharmacy is perceived. The conversation was very interesting and revolved around the following areas:

    - Access to patient records.
    - Community pharmacists possibly being their own worst enemy in terms of having the confidence to take on new roles.
    - The pressure community pharmacies find themselves under to deliver the NHS contract.
    - Insights into how GPs feel about community pharmacy.
    - Why the choice to focus on long-term conditions.
