Interprofessional collaboration on oral health for frail home-dwelling older people: a focus group study on needs and barriers experienced by general practitioners and community pharmacists

This study provides novel insights into barriers to oral health engagement among GPs and pharmacists (micro level) and calls for improved communication and relationships between OHPs and GPs/pharmacists (meso level). Furthermore, it addresses macro-level obstacles to interprofessional collaboration, including a perceived shortage of OHPs, absence of a shared communication platform, and limited resources for preventive care.
