A scoping review of conscientious objection in pharmacy practice
Practising pharmacists navigate CO by balancing personal beliefs with professional responsibilities, which are influenced by intrapersonal and environmental factors. Referral can accommodate CO and help ensure continuity of care, but robust legal and ethical frameworks are essential. Strengthening these frameworks and conducting profession-specific research are critical to informing policy and continuity of care.
