Providing inclusive care and empowering people with dementia as a clinical pharmacist: a qualitative study of clinical pharmacist’s experiences
Taking a personalised and person-centred approach clinical pharmacists can engage with patients and carers in decision-making. This can empower people, particularly those from minoritised or disadvantaged groups, to take an active role in their care. This may help with medication adherence but also build trust, potentially leading to better quality and more equitable care. Personalised care should consider cultural beliefs and preferences to reduce misunderstandings or stigma and improve the overall experience for individuals, helping to reduce disparities.
