Method for and potential value of reflexive stakeholder mapping of a policy evaluation team: the example of the national evaluation of the NHS Pharmacy First scheme
This novel method for reflexive stakeholder analysis of a research team and its SSC has demonstrated that participants span multiple sectors and professional affiliations, but that there was an imbalance in the team. As a result, changes have been made to the evaluation, such as the inclusion of two more general practitioners in the SSC, and adapting data collection to include the former. Conducting reflexive stakeholder analysis may be worth consideration by other evaluation teams, in similar contexts, evaluating high profile policy schemes.
