Dimension III

Literature and practice show that pharmacists recognise the importance and interest of pharmacy research for the development of professional practice, the creation of health value (through better care and more information), and the establishment of the profession. As is the case with multicentre clinical trials conducted in hospitals to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of medicines, pharmacies are well placed to carry out observational trials or studies to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of medicines and other health technologies after they have been introduced onto the market. It is, therefore, crucial to encourage and support pharmacy- based research initiatives in favour of a value-based, person- -centred healthcare system.

Understand the barriers and facilitators to pharmacists’ involvement in pharmacy research in order to inform an effective strategy for involving the pharmacy network, taking into account its different characteristics; 

Training pharmacy professionals to participate in research activities, either by creating a training offer or by raising awareness of the importance of including these topics in academic training curricula; 

Creation of an open and collaborative network of research pharmacies, which are geared and capable of producing excellent research in internal initiatives or partnership with academia or industry; 

Development of IT/digital support tools for research integrated into the pharmacy’s IT systems (hardware and/or software). For example, creating areas to make study materials available or the development of eCRFs (electronic case report forms) with a terminal to collect data directly from the user (tablet).
