Exploring current approaches towards patient prioritisation for clinical pharmacy services in UK mental health inpatient care
This study identified 21 UK-based mental health organisations using systems to prioritise inpatients for clinical pharmacy services. Patient prioritisation systems were reported to be beneficial for pharmacy teams in managing their workload and delivering services despite their reported limitations. However, interviews with a single representative may not fully capture the perspectives and experiences of others.
