Community pharmacists’ referrals to General Practice with suspected need of antibiotics: an Australian cross-sectional pilot study
Our pilot indicated that exploration of pharmacist referral for antibiotics is feasible and warranted. Future studies should quantify referral rates, reasons for referral, and observed differences between pharmacist and GP results. Our results should be used for the basis of a robust sample size calculation.
