Barriers and facilitators to implementation research on pharmacist-led medication reviews in memory clinics: A qualitative study using the TDF-COM-B
This study identified key barriers and facilitators to implementing research on pharmacist-led medication reviews in memory clinics, highlighting several areas with direct policy relevance. These findings point to important policy needs, including clearer interdisciplinary roles, improved communication, adequate resource support, and standardized training to enhance the feasibility and sustainability of pharmacist-led medication review interventions, ultimately supporting successful research implementation and improving medication use in older adults with cognitive impairment and dementia.
