Attitudes towards a new collaborative model of care
A community pharmacist-led anticoagulation management service is highly valued by patients and practitioners, highlighting the importance of collaborative relationships in primary care.
Abstract
The new model of care was highly valued by patients and supported by primary care practitioners. Wider implementation of CPAMS was strongly supported. Pharmacists and general practitioners involved in CPAMS reported a pre-existing collaborative relationship, and this appears to be important in effective implementation.
