A mixed methods protocol for an impact and implementation evaluation of the Pharmacy First Services for management of common conditions in England
The evaluation should have service level, policy, professional, and research impact both in England and beyond. This includes generating evidence to show: whether PF contributes to improving primary healthcare access, assessing the quality of antimicrobial use, identifying the scope for refinements to PF, and, overall, informing better implementation of PF. The findings will also provide robust evidence to enable policymakers to determine how to enhance the role of community pharmacy in England in the future. Furthermore, the evaluation will develop a data dashboard, and the methods and codes used to interrogate it (though not the patient data), will be made publicly available that could support other similar evaluations in England and internationally.
