RCSI is carrying out research to evaluate the Common Conditions Service, and we are inviting community pharmacists to support this important work.
The research aims to:
• Explore patients’ experiences of the Common Conditions Service
• Assess patient health outcomes
• Identify potential barriers to accessing care
How can pharmacists support the research?
Participating pharmacies will be asked to direct patients who use the Common Conditions Service to a QR code displayed on a research poster in the pharmacy, where they can find out more about the study and choose whether they wish to participate.
The Participant Information Leaflet can be viewed here.
If you are interested in supporting the research or would like further information about taking part, please contact:

Have you completed your follow-up training evaluation?
We are also continuing our evaluation of the Common Conditions Service training.
Pharmacists who previously completed the IIOP training evaluation survey and agreed to be contacted for follow-up research should now have received an email inviting them to complete a short follow-up survey.
The initial evaluation provided valuable feedback and insights from pharmacists. To build on these findings and ensure the results of the evaluation are as robust and meaningful as possible, we would greatly appreciate your participation in this important follow-up stage.
Even if you have had limited opportunities to provide the Common Conditions Service since completing the training, we would still really value your feedback.
If you have received an invitation, please check your inbox, including your junk/spam folder, and take a few minutes to complete the follow-up survey.
Thank you to all pharmacists who have already contributed to this research and for your continued support in evaluating and developing pharmacy services
