The practice of formally recognised advanced community pharmacists: A scoping review from global literature
ACPs have expanded public access to clinical services. However, formal recognition and practice of ACPs from low-middle-income-countries are underrepresented in the literature. More work is needed to recognise ACPs' practice in education and research. Future research should clearly operationalise advanced practice within existing frameworks, explicitly report recognition mechanisms, and engage broader stakeholders in the implementation, evaluation, and role development of ACPs.
