Our colleagues at Strathclyde University are undertaking the following research project

Exploring Community Pharmacists’ Views, Barriers, and Facilitators to Implementing a Community Pharmacy-Led Depression Treatment Adherence Service in Scotland

The details of how you can participate in this research are attached . It will take the form of a short interview to hear your thoughts on a new service which could be offered by community pharmacies in Scotland to help people with depression stick to their depression medication.

Please note that CPS is not sponsoring the survey. The detail is highlighted here for signposting only.

If you want to take part, please ensure you follow any specific policies in your individual organisation and discuss with your pharmacy superintendent or line manager as appropriate.
